Diabetes Conversation – Living with Diabetes

Program Objective / Goal: 

Through group discussion, led by a Diabetes Educator, participants will gain knowledge about the management and prevention of diabetes.  The sessions allow participants to learn from each others experiences which can be very valuable for adult learning, self-management and inspiration for behaviour change.

Program Structure:

The program uses 3 Conversation Map Visuals and Tools for 3 group sessions.  The visual maps and facilitator guide participants to navigate through various topics about: 1. Living With Diabetes,  2. How Diabetes Works,  3. Healthy Eating and Keeping Active.

Participants learn about things they can do to manage or prevent diabetes, how to make changes, overcome challenges and explore what happens if diabetes is not under control.
