FOUNDATION EDUCATIONAL CLASSES
The PADRE Foundation offers several types of classes for families living with Type 1 diabetes, both in English and Spanish. Examples are listed below.
Caregivers Class: Training
for caregivers that help them understand diabetes
basics. This is a great class for grandparents,
relatives, babysitters and anyone else outside
the family who will be responsible for the
care of the child with Type 1 Diabetes. This
class is conducted by a Registered Nurse and
Certified Diabetes Educator.
Carb Counting: Open to all
families interested in pump therapy and intensive
management. This is also a good "refresher
class" to go over the importance of counting
carbs. Children attending should be at least
8 years old. This class is conducted by a
Registered Dietitian.
Celiac Disease Support/Type 1 Diabetes Group: Provides a foundation for families to come together and share what works great, share recipes, tasteful gluten-free products. Dietitian leads class.
Diabetes Teen Driving: Covers DMV legal aspects of driving, ORANGE obligations, your responsibilities. Parents, drivers and potential drivers 15-19 encouraged to attend.
Insulin Pump Classes: Two
classes offered. Pump Basics- class for those
interested in learning about the pump, how
it works, who should wear it, and insurance
issues. Advanced Pump- class for those who

classes vary.
