| Impact Report | Kitchen Creation-Diabetic Cooking School Kitchen Creation Diabetic Cooking School was held at the Chaves County Extension Office in March. The cooking school is advertised extensively by way of flyers, brochures, displays, newspaper, newsletters and radio. Twenty four (24) participants and support persons attended the four part series. The home economist along with a Registered Dietician from Eastern New Mexico Medical Center instructed the participants on key concepts such as carbohydrate counting, understanding food labels, portion control, diabetic pyramid and menu planning. At the end of the series, participants gained knowledge in these concepts and left away empowered over their diabetes. Many comments were given through written evaluations, but overall participants appreciated the information provided about their disease, hands-on cooking activities, and the fact that the classes offered were free. |
