Get 2025 off to a healthy start by taking control of your diabetes. Ohio State University Extension and Pomerene Hospital will offer Dining with Diabetes, a cooking school and nutrition education program designed for people with diabetes and their family members or caregivers.
Dining with Diabetes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon on Feb. 27, March 4, March 6 and March 11. All classes will be at the Love Center in the community room, 1291 Massillon Road, Millersburg.
Anyone with concerns about diabetes or anyone interested in controlling blood sugar is encouraged to participate and to bring a family member, friend, caregiver or other support person. This four-session series will focus on different areas of nutrition and health at each meeting.
Follow along with handouts and take-home materials and finish the program with a healthy lunch prepared by two registered dietitians. Cooking demonstrations will help participants learn healthy techniques to use in their own kitchens. Receive a book of more than 65 recipes at the end of the series.
The cost of the program is $50 per student and includes all four classes, educational handouts and carbohydrate-controlled meals that feature a variety of recipes. People also can register a support person to attend with them at a reduced rate of $25 per person. Classes will be taught by Kate Shumaker, OSU Extension educator and registered dietitian; Megan Raber, Pomerene Hospital certified diabetes educator; and Jackie Kaufman, Pomerene Hospital registered dietitian.
