| Impact Report | Kitchen Creation-Diabetic Cooking School is offered every year for clientele of Chaves County. When dates are decided upon, a flyer is mailed to those on a waiting list first then it is advertised in the local newspaper, extension newsletters, and flyers that have been distributed around town. Thirty diabetics and their support person attended the four series of classes. The home economist along with a Registered Dietician from Eastern New Mexico Medical Center instructed the participants on key concepts from the Kitchen Creation curriculum. At the time of the first class, participants had a limited knowledge about their disease, food choices, label reading, portion control, 50/50 plate, diabetic pyramid, and menu planning. At the end of the series, participants gained knowledge in these areas and applied this knowledge in their lives. 85% of the participants learned from the hands-on cooking approach offered in this class and went home excited for the next class. |
