This interactive group program is designed to promote self management of the disease for individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Training is provided by a Registered Nurse and a Registered Dietitian who specialize in diabetes education and training. Hands on labs will be provided by a Certified Vision Rehabilitation specialist who also is a licensed Occupational Therapist.
Examples of activities that will occur in the experience labs:
· Demonstration of “talking” devices such as a glucose monitor, blood pressure cuff, timer, clock, food scale
· Demonstration of safe meal preparation techniques for folks who may have numbness in fingertips or severely limited vision; cutting with a knife, pouring boiling liquids, using a cook top.
· Demonstration of techniques for personal organization of medication, charts in an accessible format (large print, tactile, Braille, audio)
· Handouts for resources in further training, websites or local outlets for products helpful to those with low vision or blindness.
Class will be held on Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please bring your lunch. We plan to eat together and have a short discussion on recreation or adjustment to blindness at this time (4 sessions).
Transportation will be provided to the individual for each class.

1. Authorization
