| Impact Report | The home economist along with a Certified Dietitian offered the Kitchen Creations-Diabetic Cooking School in Chaves County. Twenty-nine diabetics and their support person attended the four series. At the first class, participants had a limited knowledge about their disease and after the fourth class left with a better understanding of how to manage it through healthy food choices, meal planning, cooking and exercise. Participants learned about the diabetic food guide pyramid, 50/50 method, healthy food choices, serving sizes, food preparation, menu planning, reading nutrition labels and physical activity. The home economist distributed pedometers to the class, which helped to encourage exercise. Participants turned in a walking log after the 4 weeks. |
