Healthy Living with Diabetes

What is Healthy Living with Diabetes?
This is a proven workshop…
  • Designed for adults with type 2 diabetes (pre-diabetes, type 1, and caregivers are welcome to attend!)
  • Explains skills to effectively manage diabetes, or delay the onset of diabetes
  • Can result in 25% improvement in your condition
  • Can help minimize the adverse effects of diabetes
The workshop, facilitated by two trained Leaders, including one who has diabetes,
meets for 2½ hours once a week for six weeks.
This workshop does not replace existing treatments, but serves to complement a participant’s current plan.


What’s in it for me? People who have taken the workshop show:
  • Better health, and a sense of confidence in managing their diabetes
  • Improvements in blood sugar levels and A1C
  • Decrease in health distress and hypo- and hyperglycemia
  • Fewer doctor and emergency room visits and fewer hospitalizations
Shawano County Human Services offers this program several times each year in multiple locations.
