Dining with Diabetes - New Castle County

About this event

Following a careful meal plan is the first step

in managing diabetes and keeping blood

sugars in a therapeutic range. This is also the

hardest step in diabetes management. Dining

with Diabetes helps by teaching persons with

diabetes ways to reduce sugar, salt, and fat

in foods, without giving up good taste.

The program is designed for individuals with

diabetes and their family members. The five

class series includes diabetes education,

cooking demonstrations and tasting healthy

dishes. After each lesson, attendees will take

home recipes and knowledge about how to

manage diabetes in their daily lives.

Attendees

Anyone, with or without diabetes, can attend.

This program is designed to complement, not

replace, diabetes management classes. Each

attendee may bring one family member,

caregiver or support person at no additional

fee.

Instructors

Classes are taught by University of Delaware

Cooperative Extension staff.
