Small Steps, Big Rewards

Small Steps, Big Rewards is a diabetes prevention and management program targeting people 60+ (age is an independent risk factor for diabetes). The program is given in three, 1 hour sessions and provides information on diabetes: risk factors, signs & symptoms , complications and disease management. We address diabetes prevention through healthy eating, exercise and stress management. We encourage ALL people 60+ to participate:  those with the disease, have a family history (mother/father, sister/brother, aunt /uncle), and those who don’t want to get diabetes. The program is very interactive, practical and FUN!

Participants who attend ALL THREE SESSIONS will be entered into a DRAWING for a $50.00 supermarket gift certificate in the final session.
