Diabetic meal class planned

Staff Report

The Quay County Extension Service is offering two workshops on Feb. 9, for meal planning tips for people with diabetes.

"This workshop is designed for people who could not attend our annual cooking school and will include some of the information that has been proven successful by our cooking school attendees," said Brenda Bishop, extension home economist.

Bishop said the topics covered will include the importance of managing carbohydrates, identifying carbohydrates and making our favorite foods work in a healthy meal plan. She said people who have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or who care for those with diabetes are encouraged to attend.

These workshops last about 90 minutes and will be held at 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., at the Extension Office in the Terry Turner Building at 216 E Center Street.

There will be drinks and snacks served, reserve your spot by calling 461-0562. If you are a person in need of an auxiliary service to participate in this workshop, please call 461-0562 by Feb. 5.
