Griffin Health and the Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging offer a free, six-week workshop in Naugatuck to help empower individuals diagnosed with diabetes take control of their health.
The Live Well Diabetes Self-Management Workshop will be held Tuesdays March 4-April 15 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Naugatuck Senior Center, 300 Meadow St., Naugatuck.
This interactive workshop will focus on several topics for those with diabetes, including healthy eating, foot care, low-and high-blood sugar, sick day guidelines, tips for dealing with stress, making weekly action plans and how to set small and achievable goals.
The Live Well Diabetes Self-Management Workshop is an evidence-based self-management program developed at Stanford University for adults with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. The workshop is also open to caregivers. Books and other materials for the workshop will be provided at no cost, and there will be gifts for those who complete the program.
The class is limited to 12 individuals and pre-registration is required. To sign-up or for more information, contact call Griffin Health Community Outreach Nurse Maggie Sessa at 203-732-1136 or msessa@griffinhealth.org.
