Pacific Medical Center Hosts Diabetes 2 Support Group starting Apr 6

Christy Goff, RD

Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center and Pacific Medical Center have partnered in 2018 to offer a Type 2 Diabetes Support Group.

Those diagnosed with diabetes and those living or caring for someone with diabetes will benefit greatly from this FREE series of workshops to be presented each month.

Christy Goff, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist from Pacific Medical Center, will host the Support Group on the 1st Friday of each month, beginning April 6th, from 1:30pm - 2:30pm. 

Each month, either she or a Pacific Medical Center physician and/or nutritionist, will address important topics of interest to those diagnosed with Diabetes and those caring for someone with the diagnosis.

If you are Type 1 Diabetes, you are welcome to join the group as well. While some sessions will be classroom style, others will include cooking demonstrations in our kitchen. Here's a list of the first three sessions to mark on your calendar:

April 6th: Goal Setting and What to Know to Better Manage Your Labs (HgA1C%, blood pressure and cholesterol)

May 4th: Lo Impact Exercises and Understanding Foot Care

June 1st: Cooking Demonstration (Diabetes Friendly foods for 1-2 People) and Portion Control
