Meeting once a week for four weeks, this class is open to those with diabetes and their family members. The classes are free, but space is limited and pre-registration is required. Participants must attend all class sessions.
Healthy, easy and tasty recipes will be demonstrated and participants will have the opportunity to taste each one. Participants will also learn about nutrition, meal planning, exercise and common diabetes-related medical tests. Recipes and handouts will be given to each participant.
