Live Well with Diabetes
The in-home version of the popular Live Well with Diabetes workshop is now available to adults in the comfort of their home without having to use technology beyond the telephone. The toolkit can be sent directly to participants at no cost and includes a Living a Healthy Life Book, instruction booklet and exercise and relaxation CDs. Weekly phone calls from a trained Live Well leader enhances the experience and can help to alleviate social isolation during the COVID epidemic.

Participants must be willing to share their name, address and phone number so the toolkit can be mailed directly to them and the leader can place the weekly call.

Participants will learn about:
- Physical activity, exercise and healthy eating
- Dealing with difficult emotions
- Decision-making and communications skills
