MEXICO — Oswego County T1D will host their first of four series on Wednesday, focusing on nutrition and type 1 Diabetes. Joining the panel of local healthcare professionals is Registered Dietician, Chaya Lee Charles. Charles will share her thoughts on living with diabetes and still having dietary freedom. 

“We are looking forward to having Chaya join our program,” noted T1D Oswego County member Julie Chetney, “Her experience working with type 1 diabetics is something that children and parents will find valuable in managing their own day to day nutritional habits.”

Charles will address meal planning and how to include everything into a diet as a type 1 diabetic while adding tips on proper carbohydrate counting.

This T1D “Connections” program will take place at 6 p.m. at CITI Boces in Mexico and include Charles along with other guest speakers sharing information about their experience with Type 1 diabetes. 

Other events in 2020 include: Connecting to Summer Fun with Type 1 on June 6, From Home to School with Type 1 Diabetes on Sept. 3, and Tech The Halls with T1D Technology on Nov. 4. 

T1D Oswego County is a community collaboration with insight from the Oswego City/County Youth Bureau, parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes, Oswego Health, the Oswego County Health Department and Cornell Cooperative Extension.
