With obesity on the rise and fewer Americans engaging in daily exercise, diabetes is fast becoming a national epidemic. Here in New Hampshire, about 84,500 adults are living with Type I or Type II diabetes.

At AVH, we’re helping people with diabetes live longer, healthier lives through diabetes care, education and lifestyle management programs. Our goal is to help patients take control of their diabetes so that complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness and amputations may be successfully avoided. Diabetes is controllable – you can do it!
