WADENA-Tri-County Health Care is partnering with the University of Minnesota Extension to offer the "I CAN Prevent Diabetes" program.
In this free program, participants will learn how to create a healthier lifestyle to help prevent diabetes. Anyone who is at risk for diabetes, has been told by their medical provider that they were at risk or have had a lab test that revealed they have pre-diabetes is welcome to attend.
Participants in the "I CAN Prevent Diabetes" program will meet in a support group setting with a trained lifestyle coach to learn how to lose weight, eat healthier and increase physical activity. Utilizing a group approach, participants are able to find support and share stories to encourage each other. Previous participants have shared that finding practical ways to lose weight has allowed them to feel better and become more active in every part of their life.
