| Impact Report | Twenty-two people participated in the Annual Kitchen Creations Cooking School held in February. Participants gained knowledge on meal planning and learned to cook foods in different ways. Many even tried new foods. Stir-frying is a new concept to many families and is a healthy way of preparing meals. Many expressed gratitude for the class. Most reported that their blood sugar was lower due to using the information in the class. This series of classes was also attended by a local physician, who was very impressed with the class and is looking for funds to help us do an additional class. A retired Health Department Nutritionist assisted with the classes. To support our clientele with diabetes, a quarterly newsletter was developed with helpful tips, recipes, and a balanced menu example. Four issues of this newsletter were developed during this reporting period. Agent has received complements from Nurse Practitioners and one new Physician in the community about the newsletters and they are encouraging their patients to sign up for it. Currently there are 180 on the mailing list. Throughout the year, met with 18 diabetics and their families to help them understand their diet better. Sessions focused on identifying carbohydrate foods and portion sizes, reading labels, and balancing meals. |
