Diabetes Self-Management Workshop

Workshops are facilitated from a highly detailed manual by two trained educators including a nutritionist. Subjects covered include: 1) techniques to deal with the symptoms of diabetes; 2) appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength and endurance; 3) healthy eating 4) appropriate use of medication; and 5) working more effectively with health care providers. It is the process in which the program is taught that makes it effective. Classes are highly participative, where mutual support and success build the participants’ confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives.
