MONROE - "Healthy Living with Diabetes" is a fun, educational workshop that will allow participants to connect with others who are living with diabetes, according to a news release.
The workshop will meet six times at Monroe Clinic from 1 to 3:30 p.m. beginning Aug. 10. The program, which has been proven to help people manage diabetes and complement existing treatments, teaches diabetes-specific self-management skills in nutrition, exercise and medication and covers techniques to deal with symptoms of diabetes and work with a doctor to see better results.
The cost is $10, and scholarships are available. Space is limited to 15 people.
According to the release, Stanford University developed this program to be different from appointments with a diabetes educator. It is meant to work in conjunction with diabetes education concepts. This is not an individualized program and does not consider any person's individual health care needs. It is a group program for people diagnosed with pre-diabetes, diabetes, or persons whose loved ones have been diagnosed with diabetes, and is 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.
If interested in registering, call the Aging and Disability Resource Center at 608-328-9499.
