Let's Beat Diabetes

Though managing diabetes is often the goal presented by medical professionals, diabetes can often be prevented and for many people even reversed by diet and lifestyle changes. This interactive, 2-hour class introduces the knowledge, tools, and lifestyle strategies that help individuals reduce their risk of developing diabetes, and to feel better and reduce the need for medication even after it has been diagnosed.  Your instructor is retired physician Dr Nora E. Hanke, who will present information from the Physicians Committee's Food For Life curriculum's Diabetes Initiative series. There will be discussion, an educational video, and the demonstration and tasting of simple recipes to help people prevent and fight diabetes. Everyone goes home with written materials, including the recipes. 

The intended audience are people wishing to prevent or reverse diabetes, and their family and friends. Even those with type 1 diabetes can benefit from this class.
