to adults of any age living with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and/or their
caregivers.

Healthy U is an evidence-based, interactive, small group workshop
proven to improve quality of life and reduce health care expenses by
increasing self-confidence and providing new skills to better manage
symptoms and feel healthier. Participants explore new ways to address
challenges common to anyone with diabetes. This workshop is different
from clinical diabetes programs, and instead focuses on common problems
like chronic pain, nutrition, exercise, medication use, emotions, and
communicating with doctors and family. Participants develop skills and
coping strategies to manage symptoms through setting achievable goals,
problem-solving, decision-making, social support, and more.
Everyone who completes the course receives the companion textbook,
Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions, and a relaxation CD.
Make a commitment to better health. Register today!
Workshops are supported by the Area Agency on Aging, PSA 2. The Agency
