Diabetes Self-Management Program
From: Friday 25 March 2022 at 08:00am

The York County Area Agency on Aging is offering a free Diabetes Self-Management program.
Adults 60 and older living with diabetes or pre-diabetes, and caregivers age 60 and older caring for someone with diabetes, can participate in the workshops. The interactive program spans six workshops, once a week for one hour. The workshops will be taught by certified instructors through the agency.
Developed by the Self-Management Resource Center, formerly Stanford University Patient Education Program, this health promotion program introduces participants to self-management tools like healthy eating, monitoring blood sugar, action planning, and dealing with difficult emotions, among others. A companion book, Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions, 4th Edition, and an audio relaxation CD will be provided for all participants.
These free virtual workshops will be held from 1 to 3:30 pm every Tuesday, beginning April 12 through May 17. A computer and internet access is required as the workshops will be done via Zoom, or by phone conference.
There is no charge for the workshops. Pre-registration is required by March 25 by calling Megan Craley at 717-855-0437.
