Karen Taylor and I will be leading a diabetes self management class starting this coming Monday at 1:00 P.M. until 3:30 P.M. It is a 6-week class and you will receive a text and tape. It is a great class that has helped many already in HC. Look at what we will do. Message me if interested. Subjects covered include: 1) Techniques to deal with problems and symptoms associated with diabetes such as frustration, fatigue, pain, low and high blood sugars, negative emotions and isolation 2) Physical activity/movement for maintaining and improving strength, flexibility, and endurance 3) Appropriate and effective use of medications 4) Communicating effectively with family, friends, and health professionals 5) Nutrition and supportive food decisions 6) Family Education to help understand the seriousness of diabetes and how to encourage Workshop package is valued at over $150, which includes 6 workshops and a resource book called “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions and a relaxation tape.” However, we currently can offer it free due to a grant. The way the program is taught is what makes it effective. The workshop sessions are lively and participative; workshop participants’ talk, share, practice skills and learn together over the six weeks. Mutual support and success build the participants’ confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives. The Self-Management Program does not conflict with existing programs or treatment. It is designed to enhance regular treatment and disease-specific education such as better nutrition, relaxation for anxiety, and medication management. In a lot of situations, many people have more than one chronic condition. The program is especially helpful for these people; it gives them the skills to manage their health, as well as, to help them keep active in their lives. COME AND JOIN US!
