Dining with Diabetes

Last modified 2008-07-01 11:54

A cooking school program for people with diabetes and their families.

 

 Dining with Diabetes
 

The Dining with Diabetes Program presents lifestyle changes usually prescribed for people (and their families) who have diabetes.  These changes can be complicated and difficult to master at first, yet they are the cornerstone for effective management of diabetes. 

Our goals for the Dining with Diabetes Program include:

  • Presenting healthy versions of familiar foods that are easy to prepare.
  • Cooking demonstrations, food tasting, and recipe analysis.
  • Developing a physical exercise program that matches your lifestyle.
  • Increasing knowledge about carbohydrates, sugars, sodium, herbs, and fats in your diet.
  • Using food labels to be a savvy shopper.
  • Providing opportunities for participants to share and learn from one another.

Check this site often to find the dates of the next Dining with Diabetes session. 

If you would like to have more information about the program, call 513-887-3722 and ask for Dan Remley or Terri Chatfield.

  • Talking Points:  The lemon juice will help prevent browning in the apples.  Using reduced fat mayonnaise reduces calories and fat.  Leaving the skin on increases the fiber in the re
