Living Healthy to Prevent Diabetes
Living Healthy to Prevent Diabetes is a free, three-week program that helps individuals develop a structured lifestyle change program that can cut the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58%, and with sustained behavior, continues to lower risk for years to follow. This program incorporates key components of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s Prevent T2 Lifestyle Change curriculum with a focus on promoting healthy eating and physical activity for individuals diagnosed with prediabetes.
At weekly meetings, Diabetes Care & Education Specialist Mary Swansiger, RN, CDCES, will guide participants in learning about healthy eating, weight management, physical activity, coping skills, healthy lifestyle goal setting and stress management.
This session will be held on Thursdays July 9, 16 and 23 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital, 350 Seymour Ave., Derby.
Participants are invited to use the Center’s free valet parking at the front entrance.
