WATERBURY â The Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging offers an in-home version of the popular Live Well With Diabetes workshop for adults with diabetes or pre-diabetes in the comfort of their home without having to use technology beyond the telephone.
A new group will meet from 1 to 2 p.m. Saturdays, beginning March 20.
This program helps participants learn new skills to manage their diabetes.
Once a week for six weeks, a trained Live Well leader will facilitate the one- hour group phone calls to help enhance the experience and to alleviate social isolation during this time.
Participants will learn about healthy eating, high and low blood sugar, being active, sick day guidelines, tips for dealing with stress, foot care, making weekly action plans and how to set small and achievable goals.
