'Dining with Diabetes' classes offered in Barryton

BARRYTON The Lions Club International and Michigan State University Extension are partnering to offer free "Dining with Diabetes" workshops in Barryton.

Thanks to the Lions Club International for giving back to this community. It is extra special to be able to bring 'Dining with Diabetes' to the small community of Barryton, MSUE educator Pam Daniels stated in a press release.

"Dining with Diabetes" lasts four weeks and includes research-based education, food preparation demonstrations and healthy recipe tasting. Participants receive a textbook and materials. The goals of the classes are for participants to learn self-management skills surrounding their health and to work closely with their healthcare providers.

"Dining with Diabetes" is for anyone with or at-risk of developing diabetes. Both diabetes self-care and cooking skills are taught each week. MSUE Chef Don Zimmer will be the featured guest chef each week.

Classes will take place from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Jan. 22 and 29, and Feb. 5 and 12, at the Barryton Senior Center, 71 E. Northern Ave.

RSVP is required. Call Lisa Baker at 231-592-0792 to sign up.
