Dining with Diabetes - New Castle County

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.
