A free program, “Diabetes and How it Affects the Nerves,” is scheduled for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14, at HealthReach, 1705 S.E. Broadway Ave., Albert Lea.

Diabetes can cause many complications and affecting the nerves is one of them. Tingling, numbness, and loss of sensation are just a few descriptions of what it feels like when the nerves are affected. Join Dr. Kim for a presentation on what can be done to slow this process down as well as how to cope and manage when you are experiencing this problem.
