June’s Diabetes Education Class Covers the Healthy Eating Conversation Map


by: Joe Pyritz

The Pinal County Public Health District is holding its monthly Diabetes Education classes in June. This month’s classes will deal with the Healthy Eating Conversation Map.

The Healthy Eating Conversation Map is being widely used by physicians across the United States to help diabetics understand their condition in a simple and easy to read format.  The map guides users through various parts of the disease with explanations of eating habits and dispelling myths.

There are five different Conversation Maps: Overview of Diabetes, Healthy Eating, Monitoring and Using Your Results, Natural Course of Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes.

Diabetes Education Program Coordinator Mary Gonzales hosts the free classes designed to educate those that suffer from the disease and offer them help in a supportive environment.

All diabetics are encouraged to attend and share their experiences and how they’re coping with diabetes.

The support groups will meet at the following locations:

  • Apache Junction: Tuesday, June 12, 10:00 am.  Apache Junction Senior Center; 1035 North Idaho Road
