Free Dining with Diabetes Workshop Coming to Lincoln
Ashley Svaty, Nutrition, Food Safety and Health Agent
Post Rock Extension District is offering a Dining with Diabetes
workshop, a national extension program designed to boost the health and
wellness of Kansans with Type 2 diabetes and help educate their family members,
caregivers and others who support them.
Dining with Diabetes is a series of two-hour classes held once a week
for four weeks. Lessons focus on the best ways to take care of yourself if you
have the diabetes; healthful food choices including familiar foods; low-impact
physical activity; food sampling; cooking techniques using herbs, spices,
reduced-fat foods and artificial sweeteners.
Post Rock Extension District is excited to offer Dining with Diabetes
in Lincoln, KS at the Lincoln United Methodist Church over supper, from
5:30-7:30pm. Class dates are: September
9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th. Supper will be served at each session.
