UGAR BALANCE WORKSHOPS use practical, problem-based learning exercises to cover the self-management essentials of:

1) eating (using food labels, the glycaemic index, and carbohydrate counting, to eat what you want, when you want; guidance on the legal and illegal lifestyle choices often ignored or condemned by the healthcare profession, eg alcohol and fast food; explained in a way that makes sense to everyday life)

2) exercising (using the formulas outlined in the sugarbalance toolbook, to enable everyone to exercise at the level they are comfortable with)

3) and taking the right amount of medication (using the formulas and the dietary information in the sugarbalance toolbook, along with the information recorded over the days preceding the workshop, to calculate the amount of insulin - if required - to balance the blood sugar level before eating and exercising, and/or after running a high blood sugar level)
