Diabetes Support Group will Meet at Wakulla County Health Department

{sidebar id=3}The Wakulla County Health Department (WCHD) is offering the citizens of Wakulla County an opportunity to participate in a new Diabetes Support Group.  All individuals and their significant others who are dealing with diabetes are invited to attend the next session.  Meetings will be held on the 4th Thursday of each month and are also advertised on the WCHD website:  www.wakullahealth.com .  The date of the next meeting is Thursday, January 24th from 6:30 pm until 7:30 pm.

Diabetes can be prevented and controlled.  In 2005, 53.3% of Florida adults diagnosed with diabetes had not ever taken a course or class in how to manage their diabetes.  Do not let yourself or a loved one be a part of this statistic.  Come and learn from others as we all learn to cope with the disease and the stressors we face trying to control diabetes.  Learn how to live a normal life with diabetes.

There will be new topics, new speakers and new material – come see for yourself!  For more information, to pre-register, or to be placed on a contact list for the next meeting, please call Kim Tucker, WCHD Health Educator, at (850) 926-2558, ext. 160 or email at Kimberly_Tucker@doh.state.fl.us.  We look forward to seeing many people at this meeting, ready to face the New Year of 2008 with a renewed focus on their health!
