Diabetes Prevention & Rehabilitation
The South County Family YMCA offerings an on-going diabetes prevention & rehabilitation program.
The program includes comprehensive exercise training and nutrition counseling, education sessions and monitoring of glucose, cholesterol and body fat. Metabolic analysis may also be part of the program if indicated.
Our staff exercise physiologist will create a personalized exercise program tailored for each participant depending on their progression of disease, fitness level and goals. The comprehensive wellness program will enhance cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and flexibility.
Individual consultations with our registered dietitian will ensure that each participant is getting the most balanced nutritional plan and sound advice on energy balance, glucose regulation and weight issues.
Participants are encouraged to attend a regular lecture series on topics related to diabetes and health promotion and to attend regular group fitness classes offered at the South County Family YMCA’s Venice facility.
