Control Diabetes November program – Winter Time Blues Managing diabetes can be tough in any season. As winter approaches, some people with diabetes find that staying on top of their management routine along with everything else, gets even harder. Your physical and mental energy wanes.

Your exercise regimen disintegrates. Procrastination takes hold, and you leave  chores uncompleted. Meal planning and preparations feels overwhelming.  Cravings for sweets, chocolates and starches intensify, making it doubly difficult to maintain a healthy diet. Your thought processes turn sluggish; normally manageable mental tasks, such as counting carbohydrates, remembering appointments, or balancing your check book feel challenging and overwhelming.

If these situations ring a bell, you are not alone. One third of Americans report  they experience a winter time slump. The Control Your Diabetes for Life program on Wednesday, November 28 will discuss the topics of “Winter Time Blues”; “The Mysteries of Monitoring”; and the “Diabetes Meal Planning Made Easy.”

A question and answer period will follow the presentation.

The program will be given at 12:30 p.m. and again at 6:00 p.m. at the UNL  Box Butte Co. Extension Office, 415 Black Hills Ave in Alliance. RSVP your  attendance session by calling 762-5616 no later than Tuesday, November 27.
