Healthy Living with Diabetes Workshop scheduled

Posted

Pinal-Gila Council for Senior Citizens will be hosting a virtual Healthy Living with Diabetes Workshop July 20-August 24 from 1-3 p.m.

Physicians, diabetes educators, dietitians, and other health professionals both at Stanford and in the community have reviewed all materials in the workshop.

Additionally, each year the content is reviewed and updated to meet current American Diabetes Associations standards.  Participants will learn:

Techniques to deal with the symptoms of diabetes, fatigue, pain, hyper/hypoglycemia, stress, and emotional problems such as depression, anger, fear and frustration.

Appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength and endurance

Healthy eating

Appropriate use of medication

Working more effectively with health care providers

Participants will make weekly action plans, share experiences, and help each other solve problems they encounter in creating and carrying out their self-management program.
