Class to help those with diabetes be healthier

Published 9:07 am Saturday, March 30, 2019

If you live with diabetes and would like to improve your health and sense of well-being, this class is for you.

From 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday will be the first of a six-week program “Living Well with Diabetes.” These classes run every Thursday throughout those six weeks.

Even if you know you cannot attend every class, sign up if this could benefit you. Participants make weekly action plans, share experiences and help each other solve problems as they carry out their self-management program.
