Cindy Earle, Washington County Hospital's community health education program coordinator, helped bring the Divabetic program to Hagerstown.

"The whole idea is that we are making divas of the women who attend," she said. "You never see a diva who never cares for herself well or who doesn't express her wants and needs forthrightly."

Earle said the hospital wanted to have a program that appealed to middle-aged women who had diabetes or were responsible for caring for someone with diabetes. Not all people with diabetes manage their disease well, she said, and that can have a negative impact on those who depend on her.

"Especially where there are children involved," Earle said. "We're now seeing diabetes more in our children."

The program will feature Broadway-show atmosphere, she said, with music videos, a feather-boa workout, chair-based cardio demos, healthful lifestyle tips, games, photo sessions and prize giveaways.
