POTSDAM -- The St. Lawrence Health Initiative will offer the 6-week program "Living Better With Diabetes" during July and August.

Classes will be held on Tuesdays, July 24 and 31 and Aug. 7, 14 and 28 and Sept. 4, from 5–7:30 p.m.; or Wednesdays, July 18 and 25 and Aug. 1, 15, 22 and 29 from 9-11:30 a.m.

These free programs will be held at the Potsdam Town Hall, Community Room, 18 Elm St.

“Living Better” is designed for all who are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes, or are interested in learning more about diabetes. Family members, friends and/or caregivers are encouraged to attend as well. A light snack is provided.

Topics covered include nutrition, physical activity, problem solving, short-term goal setting, medication usage, and dealing with the frustration and other difficult emotions that come with living with a long term health condition. Support and encouragement from both leaders and peers help with day-to-day management.
