If you or a family member is living with diabetes, pre-diabetes, or are the caregiver or other support person of someone with diabetes, you are encouraged to attend “Dining With Diabetes” in November. This series of four classes, held on Tuesday afternoons – Nov. 8, 15, 22 and 29 - at the McKenzie County Courthouse meeting room, Watford City, will help you promote self-management of diabetes through healthy food choices and meal planning.
Classes will start at 1 p.m. CT and conclude by 4 p.m. CT. They will be delivered through an interactive video network and will also include food demonstrations, hands-on food preparation, and tasting healthy foods. Participants will learn how to plan and prepare balanced and flavorful meals. Discussions and time to answer questions and network with each other will be included.
Offered in 30 states, this tested program follows established clinical practice guidelines that reduce the risk of diabetes and complications. Classes are taught by diabetes health professionals such as registered dietitians, certified diabetes educators, and extension agents.
Cost to attend is $25, which includes food and all class materials. Registration deadline is Oct. 31, 2011. Registrations are taken at the McKenzie County Extension Office in the courthouse, 201 W. 5th St., Watford City, or registrations may also be made by calling the extension office at 701-444-3451 or e-mailing extension agent Marcia Hellandsaas at [email protected].
