LONG BEACH ISLAND – If diabetes is part of your daily living, The Ocean County Library invites you to “Take Control of Your Health: Health Management Courses for Diabetes,” a six-week course at the OCL Long Beach Island Branch from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. on consecutive Wednesdays, September 4, 11, 18, 25 and October 2 and 9.
In each two-hour interactive session, certified, trained and experienced volunteers will describe how to reduce A1C levels, how to monitor blood sugar and stress levels and how to avoid complications.
The Diabetes Self-Management Program was developed by Stanford University for senior citizens aged 60 and older. Family members and caregivers are welcome. Attendees will each receive a free book, Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions.
This free series is sponsored by Meals on Wheels of Ocean County and Hackensack Meridian Health in partnership with the Ocean County Library, and funded in part by a grant from the Ocean County Board of Commissioners.
