Continuing Your Journey with Diabetes
Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) Lifestyle Change Program (formerly Prevent T2)
The HEAL lifestyle change program is modeled after the National Diabetes Prevention Program, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This proven program can help you make modest lifestyle changes to help you manage your diabetes or cut your risk of type 2 diabetes by more than half.
HEAL is a program that provides a trained lifestyle coach to help participants along the journey to making long term changes with lasting results. Through weekly sessions, participants join a support group of people that they can relate to which provides a comfortable, safe place to share ideas, celebrate successes, all while having fun.
The Lifestyle coach teaches interactive weekly classes for 22 weeks on a variety of health and nutrition subjects.
Meeting Details: All sessions are currently held online via Zoom, Thursday, 4 – 5:15 p.m. A new series begins Thursday, February 4, 2021.

Gestational Diabetes
During pregnancy, usually between 24 and 28 weeks or later many women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes. A diagnosis of gestational diabetes does not mean that you had diabetes before you conceived, or that you will have diabetes after giving birth. But it’s important to follow your doctor’s advice regarding blood glucose (blood sugar) levels while you’re pregnant, so you and your baby both remain healthy. Weekly classes are open to pregnant patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and are covered by most insurance plans.
This class is currently offered online, via Zoom.
