This document describes a health education program for 50 type 2 diabetics in Taroudannt, Morocco from April 30th, 2012. It was conducted over 3 days in 5 groups of 10 people each to teach about diabetes, nutrition, and exercise. The program aimed to improve education about diabetes management, as many diabetics in Morocco are unaware they have the disease or do not properly manage it, leading to complications. Volunteers with medical and nutrition experience led the sessions, which included discussions, demonstrations, and evaluations to help diabetics learn how to better prevent and care for their condition.
