Oklahoma Healthy Aging Initiative (OHAI) The Center for Healthy Aging works together to provide a diabetes self-management program. Classes start on ZOOM on the internet for free for class. Starts at 11am on July 20th and continues once a week through October 24th.
The diabetes self-management program is aimed at individuals and their carers dealing with type 2 diabetes. During the six-week workshop, you will learn how to deal with the symptoms of this form of diabetes. You will learn how to improve strength and endurance, as well as eating a healthy diet and using medication correctly. As you take this course, you will learn about better ways to control your diabetes. By sharing experiences while taking this course, you can help others resolve problems related to their diabetes.
