<strong>Type</strong> 2 <strong>Diabetes</strong> is a<br />

<strong>Diabetes</strong> is a serious disease, but<br />

and your family understand and better<br />
manage <strong>Type</strong> 2 diabetes.<br />
Community Education for<br />
<strong>Type</strong> 2 <strong>Diabetes</strong><br />
FREE Community education sessions are<br />
provided around the <strong>Nelson</strong> Tasman<br />
region by <strong>Nelson</strong> <strong>Bays</strong> <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and<br />
supported by <strong>Diabetes</strong> <strong>Nelson</strong>.<br />
Who can attend<br />
The sessions are for people (and their<br />
families) who are at risk of developing<br />
diabetes, or those who have <strong>Type</strong> 2<br />
diabetes. We also welcome those who<br />
are caring for someone with diabetes.<br />
When you learn more, you can help<br />
reduce the risk of developing<br />
complications of diabetes.<br />
The sessions are held over 1-day (10am—<br />
3pm) or can be split into 2 x evening (or day)<br />
sessions. See timetable on the back.<br />
With knowledge and understanding,<br />
you can take action to keep yourself<br />
well with diabetes (or help keep others<br />
around you well)<br />
The sessions promote awareness, wellness<br />
and confidence to help you self-manage<br />
diabetes. Self management is what you do<br />
yourself to manage your diabetes.<br />
The education sessions are delivered in small<br />
groups (15-20 people) using everyday<br />
language and visual aids to enhance your<br />
learning.<br />
Registrations are essential so please<br />
