The Kelsey-Seybold Diabetes Management Program is a joint program of the Kelsey Research Foundation and Kelsey-Seybold Clinic.

   • A series of three classes lasting approximately two hours will be held during the first three weeks of each month.

   • You may start during any of the first three weeks of the month.

   • We strongly encourage you to attend all three classes.
