“You have pre-diabetes” … “You have type 2-diabetes” …
Maybe you’ve heard these words from your physician. Most people hearing those words feel overwhelmed.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 100 million adults in the U.S. are now living with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Central Wisconsin (ADRC-CW) is offering a Healthy Living with Diabetes program in Merrill on Wednesdays, June 8 – July 13 from 9:30 a.m. -12:00 p.m. at the ADRC-CW at 607 N. Sales St. in Merrill.
The program will provide strategies for better managing diabetes, including techniques to deal with symptoms and information about healthy eating, meal planning, appropriate use of medication, exercise, and working effectively with healthcare providers. Participants learn to make realistic, achievable action plans, share their experiences, and help each other solve problems.
Registration is required because space is limited, but there is no cost. The program is free.
For questions or to register, contact the ADRC-CW at 888.486.9545.
