Testimonials

“I enjoyed all of the classes and I want to take advantage of all you have to offer.”

-- Mary
(Diabetic Ed. Class Graduate 7/08)

 

“I enjoyed coming to the classes and learning about diabetes and I encourage everyone to keep doing the right thing so we can be here for our grandchildren.”

--Lonnie
(Diabetic Ed. Class Graduate 7/08)

 

“Since I started partici-pating in the FAB Families’ programs back in August of2008 at the Johnnie Ruth Clarke Center, my quality of life has changed 100%. I was first diagnosed in August 2003 with diabetes and it changed my life.  I couldn’t eat or drink the things that I was used to anymore.  I mean, I could eat or drink the wrong things, but at a higher cost MY LIFE and that’s one gamble I don’t want to take.  So, I started with the Diabetic Nutritional Classes, then theStrengthening Training classes of which I’m attending weekly.  [I’m also] checking my blood glucose levels everyday and taking my medication.

In all, I told myself that my new course of life wasn’t going to happen overnight and to keep positive thoughts, have the FAB Families [programs] by my side to guide me and the LORD in my heart, I shouldn’t go wrong.”
