Participants will learn healthier ways to deal with the symptoms of diabetes like: fatigue, pain, hyper/hypoglycemia, stress, and emotional problems.  The program goal is to help people choose healthy behaviors they would like to follow and design strategies for incorporating these behaviors into daily life by setting weekly goals, making an action plan, giving feedback and sharing.  A course text book, and light refreshments will be available to participants for free. To register please log on to www.mahwahlibrary.org or call the Reference Librarian beginning August 19th.
