Description
Basic Nutrition for Diabetes Management
Diabetes does not have to take over your life!
If you’ve just been diagnosed with diabetes or have been living with it for a while, it may seem as though your life revolves around blood glucose testing, taking medications, doctor’s visits, and of course, meal planning. The question of what to eat seems to be the most difficult, especially when you’ve been told by your doctor, family, and friends what you “should,” and “should not” eat.
Basic Nutrition for Diabetes Management is a workshop that will provide you with an overview of how food choices influence your blood glucose levels. The topics covered include…
- What are carbohydrates and why do I need them?
- Which foods contain carbohydrates?
- How do complex carbohydrates differ from refined carbohydrates?
- Can I still enjoy my favorite foods?
- How do I apply the information on food labels to determine the health value of a product?
The goal of this workshop is to provide a starting point for making healthy lifestyle changes. You will also be provided with other resources you can utilize beyond the workshop for individualized recommendations and motivation.
