MU Extension will offer a diabetes self-management course to S&T faculty and staff, “Eat Well, Be Well with Diabetes.” The course teaches participants the basics of managing blood sugar, how to understand food labels and make healthier dietary choices, meal planning using the “plate method” and carbohydrate counting, as well as many other aspects of diabetes self-care. Each session will include sampling easy, healthy recipes. The program is open to anyone with Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, spouses and other friends and family members who want to know more about Type 2 diabetes.
The four-session program will meet from 5-7 p.m. Mondays, Jan. 10-31, 2012, in Room 206 Centennial Hall. The cost is $25. The registration deadline is Thursday, Jan. 5, and space is limited.
