The World Health Organization notes that people with Diabetes can live long, healthy lives when their Diabetes is detected and well-managed.  Diabetes can be a lot of work, and despite our best efforts, sometimes we may have a hard time meeting our goals. It is easy to become frustrated and slip into unhealthy habits. This could be a sign that you have diabetes burnout.

Here’s your chance to take control!  Join COSA and Senior Community Services’ Friendship Circle Senior Center for the nationally recognized Steps to Healthier Living:  Diabetes Self-Management Program.  This program is for individuals age 60 and older with Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes or who are caring for someone who has Diabetes who is age 60 and older.  This small group evidence-based program developed by Stanford University is used around the world to help people with diabetes live their best lives by improving their self-management skills.  This interactive program will be run virtually on Zoom once a week for 6-weeks on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. beginning September 29^th through November 3^rd.
