Senior Connections, (The Capital Area Agency on Aging) in partnership with the Chesterfield County Office of Aging & Disability Services will offer a workshop entitled Diabetes Self-Management Program. This free workshop led by lay leaders will meet for six consecutive weeks on a designated day and time.

This workshop will focus on developing an action plan, feedback and problem solving, communication, nutrition and healthy eating, preventing/monitoring low blood sugar, stress management, depression, positive thinking, working with your healthcare provider, skin and foot care, and preventing complications.
