Join the Euclid Diabetes Support Group

If you are a person with diabetes or have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, consider joining the Euclid Diabetes Support Group. The EDSG started more than 12 years ago to encourage people with diabetes to manage their disease and live a healthy lifestyle. New members are always welcome.

Dan Finkenthal, R.N., facilitates the meeting each month. He is an engaging and knowledgeable speaker who brings the latest information available from the Diabetes Partnership. The meetings are informal and informative. Monthly topics have included managing stress, carb counting, foot care, handling holiday meals, exercise, medication, neuropathy, and the complications of diabetes. The January 23rd meeting was a question and answer session so that members could get immediate information about questions they have.

Once a month on Monday evenings the members meet at the Euclid Public Library at 7 p.m. Meetings are scheduled for January 23, February 20, March 19, April 16, May 21, and June18, 2012. All meetings are free and open to the public. Flyers with the month’s topic are usually available at the library.

Members can socialize before and after the meetings. Twice a year members share potluck dinners featuring healthy foods. In July they meet for a picnic and in December for a holiday celebration. Start a healthy new year by joining the EDSG.
