Seniors who want to know more about Type 2 Diabetes and discover practical tips for managing the disease are welcome to attend this January's presentation of "Diabetes: Facts vs. Fiction." This informative and humorous presentation will be held at 2 PM on January 18, 2016, at Evergreen at Lewisville, 415 S. Garden Ridge Blvd, Lewisville, TX 75067. There is no cost to attend.

Advanced RehabTrust Home Health is sponsoring this year's event, which will cover key issues such as:

Understanding What Type 2 Diabetes Is and Why It Matters €“ Learn what Type 2 Diabetes is, what can cause it, and how it can impact a person's health. Type 2 Diabetes is frequently called "The Silent Killer"€”seniors will discover why and what they can do about it.

Learning How to Manage Type 2 Diabetes with Good Nutrition €“ Making good nutritious choices is one of the best ways to manage Type 2 Diabetes, but seniors can be overwhelmed with complex and often conflicting information that makes it hard to know what the right choices are. Seniors will learn to cut through the confusion and make healthy, even life-saving choices.

Learning How to Manage Type 2 Diabetes with Activity and/or Exercise €“ Seniors who get active and stay active will have a significant advantage in controlling their Type 2 Diabetes and improving their quality of life. At the same time, it's critical to know how to increase activity safely to avoid dangerous swings in blood sugar. Seniors will learn what symptoms to watch out for and how to progress safely with increased activity and/or exercise.

When asked about the reasons behind creating this event, the host of the event, Darla Verfurth said:

"I've been working with seniors for more than 15 years to help them live healthy, happy lives. I'm committed to helping them any way I can, and this is the kind of information I would want my own parents to have. I'll be presenting life-changing information in a humorous way so attendees will be entertained and educated at the same time."

When asked why Evergreen was hosting this year's event, Colette Krasnow, Lifestyle Coordinator for Evergreen at Lewisville, said:

"We love bringing great information about important health topics to our residents, and Advanced RehabTrust Home Health always does a great job. Our residents always enjoy learning from the experts."
