How to Understand and Manage Diabetes

Date: Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: In-Person (Finch office) or Online via Zoom

Wondering if you have diabetes or struggling to manage it?

Join us for a supportive workshop on Understanding and Managing Diabetes.

In this workshop, we’ll cover:

  • Understanding diabetes (defining different types of diabetes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, causes, and treatment of high and low blood sugar, when to seek help)
  • Managing diabetes (healthy eating habits, physical activity, monitoring blood sugar levels, foot care, eye care, and stress management)

We are happy to address concerns of diabetes management.

We can provide a holistic head-to-toe assessment after the workshop and connect you with community resources (clinics, diabetes education programs, foot clinics, and eye clinics).

Interpretation in Spanish is available.

"In this lengthy immigration process, what one must do is identify what he/she truly desires and begin working on it gradually; here is where the assistance of MNLC comes in helpful. Of course, one must be consistent; one cannot quit since God’s time is perfect.”

We are sharing an update on the technical issues MNLC is experiencing.

When the issue was first identified, it appeared to be a technical disruption with one of our systems. Through further investigation, we confirmed that the technical issue was the result of a malicious cybersecurity incident.

Since then, we have been working closely with external cybersecurity experts to understand what happened, contain the incident, and secure our systems.

Based on what we know so far, we have not found evidence that clients’ personal information has been accessed. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are continuing to assess the full scope. If we determine that anyone’s personal information has been affected, we will contact those individuals directly.

We know this disruption has made it harder to reach us, and we are sorry for the frustration and concern this may have caused—especially for the newcomers, refugees, and others in our community who rely on our services. We understand that privacy, safety, and access to support are especially important, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our phone and email systems remain temporarily unavailable as we take the necessary steps to restore them safely. In the meantime, you can continue to reach us at the temporary emails listed below for urgent matters, or visit us in person.

As a precaution, we encourage everyone to be cautious of unexpected emails, phone calls, or messages claiming to be from our organization. We will not ask for sensitive personal information through unofficial channels.

We will continue to share updates as we learn more.

Thank you for your patience and trust. We are actively addressing the incident and strengthening our systems to better protect the people we serve.
