Mid-Coast School of Technology Adult Education

This six-week class, led by two facilitators, meets once a week for two hours and thirty minutes. Each class includes a new topic on how to help participants with Type 2 diabetes or Pre-diabetes manage their health. There will be a combination of presentations, discussion, and activities with others who have similar experiences to you. You can expect to learn techniques to deal with symptoms of diabetes (fatigue, pain, hyper/hypoglycemia, stress, depression, anger, fear and frustration) as well as how to adopt appropriate exercises for maintaining and improving strength and endurance. In addition, we will also focus on healthy eating habits, use of medications, and show you ways to work better with your healthcare providers.
