Matagorda County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office and the Matagorda Regional Medical Center Wellness Center partner for a “Diabetes Lunch & Learn” event starting at noon Friday, Oct. 11, in the Harbor Room at the Wellness Center (Dome), 135 Medical Center Drive.
This educational event is the third in a series of four.
Participants will be shown how to prepare healthy recipes, learn about decreasing sodium and increasing fiber, and be provided a light lunch.
Samples of the recipes will be provided.
The recipes are quick, and easy and can help persons with type 2 diabetes enjoy tasty and satisfying foods.
Diabetes can be an overwhelming disease.
Through the series of Lunch and Learns, persons with type 2 diabetes will learn to break down the daily practice of managing diabetes to help control blood sugar and symptoms and feel better.
While there is no charge for the Lunch and Learn and anyone wanting to learn more about managing diabetes for themselves or their family is encouraged to attend, participants are asked to pre-register by contacting the Matagorda County AgriLife Extension office at 979-245-4100.
