Understanding Type 2 Diabetes
Wednesday, November 5, 2025 6:00 PM to 7:30 pm

 

 

Did you know that more than 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, and most don’t even realize it? And about 38 million Americans are living with diagnosed diabetes, with many more undiagnosed. Unfortunately, many people believe certain stereotypes that can prevent testing and awareness of how prevalent this disease has become:

 

“Diabetes is only caused by eating too much sugar or junk food.”

“Only people who are overweight get diabetes.”

“Diabetes only affects older adults.”

“It’s mostly a disease of certain races or communities.”

 

Prediabetes and diabetes are significant health concerns that can lead to complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, and blindness. And while diabetes medications are often essential, they don’t fix the root causes of high blood sugar. Over time, people may find themselves needing more prescriptions, higher doses, and facing unwanted side effects.

 

The good news? Decades of research show that your plate has power! Lifestyle choices — especially diet — can prevent progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes, improve blood sugar control, reduce reliance on medication, and in some cases, help reverse the disease entirely.

 

When you take this powerful online class, you’ll learn simple, science-backed strategies and cook delicious recipes that support healthy blood sugar, reduce medication needs, and promote long-term wellness. Perfect for anyone living with diabetes, prediabetes, or looking to prevent it. Take this class for yourself or to support someone you love!

 

Recipes, resources, and the link to join will be sent in advance so you can cook along if you like!

 

Class is held using Google Meet technology.
