On July 12, participants will learn how to put their best foot forward with a foot care demonstration and a discussion on the effects of diabetes on that area of the body. There will also be opportunities for health screenings and a health fair with exhibits of the newest products for diabetes care on the market.

The July 19 program will feature vision screening, a dialogue on medications for diabetes and a discussion of the effects of diabetes on the body.

The third session on July 26 will offer vision screening, a cooking demonstration, nutrition and diet management information, and an overview of diabetic eye disease.
