The Health Extension for Diabetes program is a free diabetes self-management and support group. The program has been recognized by the American Diabetes Association as a practice-tested diabetes self-management and support program. The main goal of this program is to help you to better manage your diabetes so that you prevent or delay complications. The program includes 7 education sessions and 7 support sessions designed to help you learn more about diabetes and provide you with the necessary skills and support that you need to successfully self-manage your diabetes.
The program is funded by the Greenville Health Authority. The classes are delivered by a Health Extension Agent with Clemson Extension in a partnership with Prisma Health-Upstate. Your health coach will provide you with bi-weekly materials, facilitate weekly group discussion, and provide weekly follow-up to help navigate resources and assist you in reaching your healthy lifestyle goals.
The program is available both online or in-person. Online groups are held by Zoom, and in-person groups are held at various locations. Choose an available class time that fits your schedule: 10-11am, 12-1pm, or 5-6pm.
Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service offers its programs to people of all ages, regardless of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital or family status and is an equal opportunity employer.
