Sweets are obviously not good for anyone diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
But what else is there?
What foods are good and what foods are bad?
I love to cook but what can I make for my husband, who has type 2 diabetes?
These are a few of the questions that may be answered during Macomb County MSU Extension’s “Dining with Diabetes,” a free, fun and interactive new series that is being launched for people with prediabetes, type 1 or type 2 diabetes, members of their support system and anyone else interested in learning more about healthy eating and diabetes prevention.
MSU Extension is committed to enhancing diabetes self-management across Michigan and we are offering additional Dining with Diabetes programs to Macomb County residents and southeast Michigan communities through our current statewide partnership with the Lions Club International of Michigan,” said Lauryn Lin, an extension health educator for MSUE. “We create a supportive environment and empower people to make healthy eating and lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes complications.”
During the program participants will learn to make healthier food choices and incorporate balanced menus into their dining experience. Classes will feature research-based education and cooking demonstrations from recipes provided in a take-home participant book.
The series will be held in Assembly Room A at the Macomb County MSU Extension office at 21885 Dunham Road (Entrance E) in Clinton Township.
