Kidney Foundation to host diabetes workshops
Tweet
The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan is hosting a health workshop in Ypsilanti from Jan. 22 to March 5 to help individuals manage diabetes. The Diabetes Self-Management workshop will meet from 9:30 to 12 noon Fridays at the Hope Center at 518 Harriet in Ypsilanti.
The workshop provides information and skills to adults with type-2 diabetes so they can improve their health and manage their symptoms.
As a result, participants are better equipped to face the daily challenge of living with diabetes. Two trained leaders conduct the workshop, one or both of whom are peer leaders with diabetes themselves.
Leaders teach techniques to deal with the symptoms of diabetes, as well as fatigue, pain, stress and emotional problems associated with the disease. Participants also learn about appropriate exercise, eating healthy, using medications wisely, and how to better communicate with health care providers. They are encouraged to practice these skills by making weekly action plans and helping each other to achieve their goals.
The program is suited for both the newly diagnosed as well as those seeking more aggressive management.
Registration for the Diabetes Self-Management workshop is necessary and enrollment is limited. Registration is $15.
To register, or for more information, contact the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan at 1-800-482-1455 or call the Hope Center at 481-0111.
