LIHUE >> Patients who want to learn more about managing diabetes can attend a six-week workshop on Kauai.

The Agency on Elderly Affairs is sponsoring the workshop called the “Diabetes Self-Management Program.”

The meetings will cover nutrition and healthy eating, monitoring blood sugar levels, preventing complications, fitness and exercise.

Trained leaders also will discuss stress management and the appropriate use of medications.

Workshops will be held on Tuesday mornings at the Lihue Civic Center starting Jan. 13.

The program was developed by Stanford University.
