Living Healthy with Diabetes
Living Healthy with Diabetes is a free, three-week diabetes self-management program that engages participants in learning and discussing clinical and lifestyle self-management behaviors to improve their health, blood sugars, emotional wellness, and quality of life. The program integrates trusted information from the National Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes and The Association of Diabetes Care & Education Curriculum to empower individuals diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to manage their health and well-being.
At weekly meetings, Diabetes Care & Education Specialist Mary Swansiger, RN, CDCES, will guide participants to manage their well-being with insightful education on healthy eating, weight management, physical activity, medication, glucose technology, health-related risk management, and coping with a chronic condition.
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.
