Description:
Healthy Living with Diabetes is a workshop is designed to help adults with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes learn self-management skills and increase their confidence in managing their diabetes.
The workshop meets once a week for six weeks — 2-1/2 hours each session. Healthy Living with Diabetes does not replace existing treatments, but rather complements the treatments a participant receives. People who have taken the workshop show: better health, health behavior and a sense of confidence in managing their diabetes, improvements in blood sugar levels, decrease in health distress and hypo- and hyperglycemia, fewer doctor and emergency room visits and fewer hospitalizations.
