About This Workshop

LifePath is hosting this workshop and the coordinator is Andi Waisman. She can be contacted by phone at 413-829-9219 or by email at [email protected]. This workshop begins on 02/06/2025 and ends on 03/13/2025 from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. This workshop will be held over 6 weeks for 1 hour each week and will be facilitated via telephone and will include a mailed toolkit.

People with diabetes need to live a healthy life . . . while living with their condition. Learning how to manage your physical and emotional problems can be a challenge, but you can do it! This Tool Kit does not provide cures or miracles. Instead, the Tool Kit introduces information and skills that are helping many people with diabetes, who may also have other health conditions, lead a healthy life.

People with diabetes need lots of tools. We hope that this Tool Kit contains most of what you need.

In addition, we will help you use your new tools. As with anything new, this may be a bit awkward at first, but we will take it slow and easy. The Tool Kit will give you some ideas to try.

We are not going to tell you what to do. Rather, we are going to help you choose the tools that will be best for you. Next, you can try them, make corrections if necessary, and over time, become an expert self-manager.

Topics include:

• Appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength and endurance
• How to use glucose monitoring to make day-to-day decisions and manage sick days
• Healthy eating
• Appropriate use of medication
• Working more effectively with healthcare providers
• Recommended tests for prevention or delay of complications
• Proper foot care
• Action-planning, problem-solving, decision-making
