"My husband and I really enjoyed the camaraderie with the other classmates . Bouncing off information within the group was informative. It built a strong core of support."
"I found the class to be extremely informative and put together in such a way as to allow the contents to be absorbed over a long period of time. Our instructor, Tara, was non-judgemental and empathetic and open. I recommend it to anyone who is struggling with pre-diabetes."
"Valuable educational class in learning the various parts of preventing diabetes and for those of us who have diabetes. Class is presented to invite conversation and sharing in a respectful space."
"Wow, there are so many reasons to like this class. Not only did I learn about how to prevent type two diabetes, I also learned about food nutrition, healthy eating habits, and how important my activity level is for preventing diabetes. It has changed my eating habits and daily life".
