With funding from the Ohio Department of Health, the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati is registering people who have diabetes for a FREE 10-week self management education program taught by a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, as well as a YMCA fitness specialist. The Program will begin the week of September 14 and will be held at three Cincinnati branches.
Over the course of ten weeks, the classes will focus on healthy eating (includes cooking demonstration and grocery shopping), exercise, goal setting, and physiology of the disease. At the end of the program those who complete 90% of the classes will receive a FREE 6-month membership to the YMCA. NOTE: For a list of week-by-week classes, please see the graphic below.
Pre-registration and a physician referral are required. It is open to adults age 18 and over who have diabetes. Participants can choose to attend classes at one of these YMCA of Greater Cincinnati branches:
