You Can Do Good To Be Good With Diabetes!
Have you been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes? Does Type 2 Diabetes Run In Your Family? Do you care for someone with type 2 diabetes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension can help! “Do It Well, Be Well With Diabetes” is a 5-topic, 4-lesson series designed to help treat diabetes. The series has helped many people in the past and continues to do so.
A new series starts in February and because of the grant the series is free! While face-to-face sessions are more effective, we offer the series through Zoom. Below are the details:
- Wednesday February 3rd – Getting Started – How Foods Affect Your Blood Sugar
- Wednesday February 10th – Are you eating the right amount of carbohydrates / physical activity?
- Wednesday February 17th – Diabetes medication
- Wednesday, February 24th – Celebrate sensibly with diabetes / complications
Each session starts at 2:00 p.m. You can join the series from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere over the Internet. If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, or maybe you don’t have reliable internet, feel free to come to the Hopkins County Extension Office and we will do it for you. This series is a partnership with Fannin, Rockwall, and Titus Counties, and Hopkins County’s own Sue Potts will host the closing session.
If you are interested, please contact our office by Friday, January 29th at 903-885-3443. We will provide you with a registration form and a link to the first session. We also have a notebook with the materials for each registered participant.

Final thought
You can tell a lot about a man by the way he deals with these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage and confused Christmas tree lights – “Time gets better with age”
