DERBY – The Diabetes Education & Support Group at Griffin Hospital will host two free presentations about how individuals with diabetes can benefit from annual wellness checkups at 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. April 9 at the hospital.

The talk will also cover working with care providers to set diabetes care goals for your blood sugar, A1c, weight, blood pressure, medication schedule, meal plan and physical activity.
The presentations will be in Dining Room Meeting Room 1. The hospital is at 130 Division St.
The Diabetes Education & Support Group meets September - June on the second Tuesday of each month to discuss the management of diabetes, its challenges, and day-to-day dietary concerns.
