Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Appalachum Regional Health Care is bringing back their diabetes support workshops beginning Thursday, January 25th. The first session of the year will focus on counting carbs and forming new healthy habits. For more information on the eight different locations and how to pre-register, call 606-789-3511. So this month in January, we're going to start off the year right and by talking about carbohydrate counting. Carbohydrates are a big part of living with diabetes. It's what makes our glucose go up. Most of the times each meeting has a healthy food demonstration. So we choose a healthy diabetes friendly recipe that fits into that carb count and we have the extension agent or one of our community partners demonstrate the food recipe for them right there in front of them and then they sample it. Different locations have different incentives and in Big Sandy the participants actually take home the ingredients to make the feature recipe. The goal of these workshops is to ensure those living with diabetes can manage it themselves at home. It all begins by getting educated on the topic and making healthy choices. I want to be able to empower these people that are living with diabetes with the knowledge and the hope and the feeling that they can take care of their diabetes at home. That way they can learn how to self-manage and be able to make those decisions to live a long, healthy life. Reporting from out on top news, I'm Nick Colum.
