MONROE - Healthy Living with Diabetes, a six-week program to help people manage their diabetes, will meet from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Mondays, starting Monday in the Argyle and Freeport rooms at Monroe Clinic.
The program helps teach people how to manage their diabetes and complement existing treatments and teaches diabetes-specific self-management skills in nutrition, exercise and medication. It also covers techniques to deal with symptoms of diabetes and how to work with a doctor to see better results.
Stanford University developed the program. It is a group program for people diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes, or persons whose loved ones have been diagnosed with diabetes, designed to help participants make life changes to reinforce the concepts they learn from diabetes education. All specific health care questions will be directed to the person's health care team.
The workshop will not meet the week of Thanksgiving.
The cost is $10 and scholarships are available. Space is limited to 15 people.
To sign up, contact the Green County Aging and Disability Resource Center at 608-328-9499.
