We present classes 3 & 4 from the L.E.A.D. = Live Well, Eat Well, be Active with Diabetes  series @ 3:30 – 5:30 pm.

Tara Brown, Jefferson County OSU Extension Educator, brought us valuable information in Class 2 of the series.  That class emphasized  the benefits of weight loss – if needed: decreasing calories in, increasing calories out, carbohydrate counting, using food labels and physical activity. This combined class 3 & 4 will focus on stress and other complications diabetes can cause as well as using the Plate Method vs. Carb Counting to manage food choices, using visual cues and keeping an activity log. The second half will show how to modify the sugar, fat, sodium and fiber contents in recipes and increasing physical activity. Please share news of this class to pass the word along to anyone who would be interested. No need to worry about missing Class 1 or 2, each class is filled with beneficial information.
