L to R: Jane Pelkki, Registered Dietitian and Brenda Jacobs, DNP, APRN and CEO, both with Daughters of Charity Services of Arkansas, show some teaching tools used in diabetes classes.

Free diabetes classes are being offered at Holmes Chapel Presbyterian Church beginning on Tuesday, April 11 from 11 am until 1 pm.

These classes are offered to anyone who wants to learn more about healthy eating, blood sugar control, diabetes medicines and preventing diabetes complications.

Classes will be lead by Jane Pelkki, a local registered dietitian and Tia Reid, a local registered nurse. Classes are sponsored by Daughters of Charity Services of Arkansas.

People who have recently completed these classes had questions like these: Can I eat spaghetti or noodles? What should my blood sugar be after I eat? My doctor says that I need to go on insulin. What did I do wrong? Everyone got their questions answered and went home understanding more about caring for diabetes.

A free healthy meal will be served at each class and door prizes will be given away. A different topic will be discussed each time the class meets and participants are encouraged to come to as many classes as possible. The class schedule is Tuesday, 4/11 Diabetes myths and facts; Tuesday, 4/18 Healthy eating with diabetes; Tuesday, 5/2 Blood sugar control; Tuesday, 5/9 Medicines and preventing complications.

For more information, call Daughters of Charity Services of Arkansas at 870-382-4878, extension 3830.
