SNMDO's Education Program is centered around providing "free" diabetes information and support to the general public living in southern New Mexico. Whenever possible our literature is published in both English and Spanish and in both electronic and paper form. Our support program identifies and trains"lay" people to facilitate support groups in the communities we serve.

If you have diabetes or suspect that you have diabetes, you should see a qualified licensed physician for diagnosis and/or treatment. (Please see our "terms of use" page)
