Hurry! Register by phone or mail by Friday, April 11th for this great program!  

Trinity Hospital Twin City and The Ohio State University Extension office in Tuscarawas County have partnered to offer help for people with diabetes.  Registration is now underway for a Dining with Diabetes program which will begin on Thursday, April 24, 2014, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Park Christian Church at 236 Miller Avenue in Dennison.

            Dining with Diabetes classes will be held once a week for three weeks with a follow-up class scheduled three months after the program ends. The program is open to those with diabetes and their family members or caregivers; participants of all ages are welcome. There is a $10 per person registration charge which includes all three sessions, materials, food samples, and the reunion meeting. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. Deadline to register is April 11.

            “Participants will learn how to prepare easy meals that taste good and are healthy, too,” explained Christine Kendle, OSU Extension Educator.  “Recipes will be demonstrated, and participants will have the opportunity to taste each one. Participants will also learn up-to-date information on nutrition, meal planning, exercise and how to understand common diabetes-related medical tests. Recipe booklets and handouts will be given to each participant or couple.”

            Dining with Diabetes will be presented by registered dietitian Kendle and Trinity Hospital Twin City’s certified diabetes educator Lu Ann Beavers-Willis. A special topic will also be presented each week by a guest speaker.

            Diabetes is a very serious and costly disease, but research has shown that those who learn to manage their blood glucose levels, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly can lower their risk of complications and lead healthier,  more productive lives.
