Community Outreach

Classes for Community Groups

Speakers are available to provide information about diabetes.

Community Blood Glucose Screening Program

In addition to the Diabetes Education Program, we conduct diabetes screenings in the community at corporate and community health fairs. We test over 15,000 people each year screening them for diabetes and pre-diabetes. Screenings utilize the support of a number of volunteer nurses who attend these fairs for us and help us screen people.

Senior Program

The Diabetes Society runs a Senior Program which visits local senior centers and provides screenings at the centers, followed by diabetes educational classes at the senior center.

Diabetes Product Information

The Diabetes Society office has information on many of the products used for diabetes management.

What's New

Camps Filling Up Fast!

Registration for 2010 summer camps opened this month and some programs are filling up very fast or are already full. The Lake Tahoe Weekend Family Camp and San Jose Day Camp are already full. Camp De Los Ninos is almost full. We are happy to say that there are still openings at Teen Camp DJ, Johnson Youth Camp, and other camps. We look forward to receiving your registration forms soon!

We are now adding names to the waiting lists for full programs: due to last-minute cancellations, we are often able to add campers from the waiting lists.

Diabetes Society Camp registration opened March 1

The Diabetes Society has received many calls and emails asking about our 2010 camp programs- great news, camp season is here! As you may have heard, the Diabetes Society has been undergoing a fiscal restructuring, so we've had to reevaluate our camp programs. This year we won’t be offering all of the camps we’ve offered in previous years, but we’re happy to announce that we’ll still be offering a great variety of educational and fun camping programs for kids, teens, and families living with type 1 diabetes.

Camp Kaiser

The Diabetes Society in partnership with Kaiser Permanente Hospital is sponsoring Camp Kaiser for teens 10 to 17. Campers must be members of Kaiser Hospital in Sacramento.
