San Marcos — A series of diabetes education workshops will be held at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 23, March 2, 16, 23 and 30 at El Buen Pastor United Methodist Church.

The series is hosted by Texas Agrilife Extension. The classes will offer facts from diabetes experts and allow attendees to ask questions in a supportive environment.

According to Agrilife Extension, 24 million children and adults in the United States live with diabetes, and 57 million Americans are at risk for type 2 diabetes. If current trends continue, one out of three children born today will face a future with diabetes if current trends continue.

El Buen Pastor United Methodist Church is located at 209 E. Grove Street in San Marcos. For more information call the Hays County Extension Office at 393-2120.
