Learn how to live with diabetes, not be ruled by it.  After almost 40 years of working with women to improve their health, we realize that no matter how many times your doctor tells you to exercise, eat right and manage your stress, it's easier said than done. People often need more guidance and support to put that knowledge into action.

That's why we've teamed up with experts from the Joslin Diabetes Center at Harvard Medical School to help you put it all together and develop a routine that you can easily fit into your busy life back home.

If you're a woman with Type II diabetes or pre-diabetes, the Living Well™ program can help you take back control of your life. Carolyn Heller had Type 2 diabetes for four years by the time she came to Green Mountain. Here, she learned how to combat diabetes burnout. Now she no longer asks the question, "Why me?"

"It’s not Oz or magic," says Heller. "It’s great classes, delicious food, diverse groups of women and information from well-qualified and caring people. Cooking classes with the chef. Peaceful sessions in yoga and meditations. The setting was glorious."
