ESCANABA — A free diabetes self-management workshop will be offered at the MTEC Center. The Diabetes-PATH (Personal Action Towards Health) workshop is a six-week workshop designed to provide the skills and tools needed by people living with Type 2 diabetes to improve their health and manage their symptoms. As a result, participants are better equipped to face the daily challenge of living with diabetes. Two trained leaders conduct the workshop.

This six-week class will start on Tuesday, Oct. 17, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Class sizes are limited and pre-registration is required. Family and caregivers are welcome to attend this workshop. There is no cost to attend. To be placed on a list for this upcoming workshop call the YMCA at 789-0005. The program is administered by UPCAP with support from the Northern Lights YMCA.
