Understanding Diabetes and Nutrition

Diabetes is a common condition among older adults, yet many people feel unsure about how it develops, how it affects daily life, and what role nutrition plays in managing it. This seminar offers a clear, supportive look at diabetes in later life, helping residents and prospective community members feel more informed and empowered.
During this session, we’ll explore what diabetes is and how it impacts the body over time. We’ll discuss the signs and symptoms that may indicate changes in blood sugar, the factors that increase risk, and how diabetes is typically diagnosed. The conversation will also address potential complications that can arise when the condition isn’t well‑managed. A key focus of the seminar will be the essential role nutrition plays in supporting stable blood sugar, maintaining energy, and promoting overall health. Participants will gain practical insights into how thoughtful food choices can make daily management easier and more effective.
This seminar provides a welcoming space to deepen your understanding of diabetes and learn how nutrition can support healthier, more confident aging.
