Slaathaug will lead the monthly meetings and invite special speakers to share information and tips.

The meetings are free and open to anyone with Type 2 diabetes and their family members. New members are always welcome. The following dates have been set for the remainder of 2021:

Wednesday, Sept. 15
Wednesday, Oct. 20
Wednesday, Nov. 17
Wednesday, Dec. 15
