Impact Report Fourteen individuals attended Kitchen Creations classes offered at the Extension Office. Evaluation statistics for the Kitchen Creations indicate that the diabetes cooking classes helped participants to manage their diabetes for the reason that 64% now read food labels to find the amount of carbohydrates in servings; 57% now use the 50/50 method to control the amount of carbohydrates they eat at a meal; and 50% now measure food portions and use more herbs and spices to flavor foods instead of salt and fat. In addition, 71% of the participants were able to list knowledge gained as a result of participating in the Kitchen Creations Diabetes Cooking School which included how important it is to control carbohydrates in meals and how important measuring portions is to losing weight. One participant commented that the classes were “fun, informative, and an excellent learning experience for any educational level.”
