MIDDLEBURY — UVM Porter Hospital is offering a Diabetes Self-Management Program beginning Thursday, July 11, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the Congregational Church of Middlebury, 2 Main St. The full workshop lasts for six separate sessions and is designed for someone who struggles with the daily tasks of managing diabetes.
The program helps participants learn how to manage symptoms and be as healthy as possible by focusing on seven self-care behaviors: healthy eating, being active, monitoring, taking medication, problem solving, healthy coping and reducing risks.
