Diabetic & Nutrition Resources

For lifestyle change to be lasting, you have to focus on where you are now.  Change is a process.  What you want has to be what you are truly willing to do.  As you master one skill, then another one follows.  While information is important, being able to apply that information to your life is crucial.  One-on-one visits can get you started.  However, group programs provide the longer term support to make change a habit.
