Hello Readers,
Welcome to the start of this new blog for the diabetes coalition. This first entry is just a introduction into what you will soon find on this blog.
Announcements of coming activities/events
Diabetes facts
Exercise and nutrition tips
Youtube videos
...and much more!
Soon we hope to have the recent Dining With Diabetes recap complete with pictures up on here.
Heres the basic intro to begin everything:
Who- Lewis Co. Diabetes Coalition: Take Action for Wellness in Lewis Co.
What- We exist to spread awareness about diabetes and we also would like to spread diabetes prevention in our county through health and wellness.
When- Starting now!
Where-Lewis Co of course!
Why- Because of the growing amount of people with type 2 diabetes in the Appalachian region. Not just in adults but in youth as well.
How- By using this blog, our local newspaper (shameless plug: read the articles in the Lewis County Herald. Many with diabetes in our community, and their family members put their stories in these articles.), Lunch and Learn meetings, Diabetes Day activities, using our community and internet resources, working with our community stores and restaurants.
Working together as a community good things can happen. Lets start on this amazing journey of health and wellness together. May the excitement begin! :)
Great job Lynnea. Looking forward to reading the blog as we help raise awareness that type 2 diabetes can be prevented.
