I=Implement these diabetic classes; classes will be held at the Health Center every Saturday at 9am and 2pm to allow attendance for all families. T=Track the aggregate and the effectiveness of these classes. Do follow up visits by phone or face to face every three months to assess the effectiveness of the classes and to find out if there is a need to change or add more topics and activities.

This family will verbalize understanding of setbacks and the importance of getting back on
