Just had our annual advisory board meeting and came away feeling like we are doing some good in the community, meeting the needs of some individuals with Diabetes. But there are still a lot more that could be helped.
Our Diabetes Education program: 7 Steps to Diabetes Control is being held in Knox County twice . Once in Frederictown at Dr Bill Elder's office: Jan 24,31, Feb 7 5:30-8:30. The classes are going to be offered at a new location in Gambier, at the community Center.. Sessions are Jan 31, Feb 7 and Feb 14 9-noon. Doctor's order is required to attend, and we would love to have you attend. Contact me if you are interested.
A few words of encouragement from Michael Bidwell, 54, PWD ( person with diabetes) , of Cincinnati. He identifies that taking responsibility for his health after his diagnosis set the stage for success. "Our doctors, nutritionists, and endocrinologists are all consultants," he says. " We are the ones in charge. We need to know how to adjust our diet, exercise, and meds to create healthy balance that allow us to function, feeling well." In my estimation sounds like he has attended an empowering Diabetes Education program. What are you waiting for? You are the one in charge. Make a goal to take care of yourself in 2012. Let me know how I can help.
