Knoxville Hospital & Clinics is beginning a Living Well with Diabetes support group. This group is open to anyone with diabetes or pre-diabetes, those with a family member with the disease, or anyone wanting to learn more. Registered Dietician Laurynn Verry will lead the group, and says this is a big topic for residents of Marion County.

“We’re focusing on diabetes because according to data from the Iowa Department of Public Health, about 11 percent of adults in Marion County have been diagnosed with diabetes. They have to put in extra effort every day to self-manage their diabetes.”

The program begins Thursday, January 27th at 1:00 p.m. at Knoxville Hospital & Clinics, and registration is required.
