The York County Area Agency on Aging is hosting a six-weekdiabetes self-management workshopin the coming weeks.

The workshops will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. every Thursday from April 20 through May 25 at the York County Annex, located at 112 Pleasant Acres Road in Springettsbury Township, according to a county news release.

The self-management workshops are open to York County residents ages 50 and older living with Type 2 diabetes, residents ages 18 and older living with a disability and Type 2 diabetes, and caregivers of eligible participants.

Researchers at Stanford University developed the program to provide tools for managing diabetes, dealing with emotions and breaking the symptom cycle that comes with diabetes, the release states. A companion book and relaxation tape will be provided.
