Prevent, Understand, and Live with Diabetes

Nurse Practitioner, Leone Murphy, from The Arc of New Jersey, will present information on one of The Arc of New Jersey’s health promotion projects, Prevent, Understand, and Live with Diabetes. Leone has presented seminars on this topic for self advocates, staff and caregivers. She has helped to develop a Diabetes workbook and DVD — written for self-advocates and caregivers — that addresses the areas of prevention, diagnosis, symptoms, diet and treatment for individuals who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. This diabetes booklet and a DVD (in English and Spanish) are available from The Arc of NJ at no charge. These materials were developed with funding from the Horizon Foundation for New Jersey.
