1. Living Well with Diabetes
I have diabetes but it doesn’t have me
As we grow older, we all wish for good health and a sense of well-being. But for those living with Type II diabetes, life and health can be hard to manage.
This self-management workshop Living Well with Diabetes* can help you take control of your health!

I wish it were easy to manage symptoms.
I miss doing things with my family and friends.
It’s harder to set goals and solve problems than it used to be.
