Look for detailed information in late spring time.
WHAT IS DINING WITH DIABETES?
Dining with Diabetes is a cooking school and nutrition education program designed for people with diabetes and their family members or caregivers.
In a series of four classes, cooking demonstrations will help you learn healthy techniques to use in your own kitchen. The program includes sampling healthy foods and discussion with a dietitian or certified diabetes educator, plus a follow-up reunion class held at a later date.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Anyone with concerns about diabetes or anyone interested in controlling blood sugar is encouraged to participate and to bring a family member, friend, caregiver, or other support person.
Lessons are taught by registered dietitians.
Physical activity is an important component of a healthy lifestyle.
Each evening during Dining with Diabetes, participants eat a small meal and learn about recipes, reading labels, and cooking tips.
