Diabetes PATH (Personal Action Towards Health) is a six week program that teaches practical skills for living a healthy life with diabetes. The workshop focuses on self-care, learning new coping strategies, and sharing personal experiences with other group members.
Diabetes PATH is a Chronic Disease Self-Management Program that was developed and tested by Stanford University. It is designed to be part of an individual’s current medical treatment. Research has shown people who have attended this six session workshop feel better, are less limited by their illness, and spend less time at the doctor or in the hospital.
