Dining with Diabetes

Eat Well to Live Well

Dining with Diabetes (DWD), a cooking school and nutrition education program designed for people with diabetes and their family members or caregivers, got off to a great start!

In the first class of a four part series, participants discussed the struggles of living with diabetes and shared their goals for the series.  They enjoyed a menu of grilled salmon with raspberry vinaigrette, peach & berry crisp and infused water, and left with recipes and the confidence to prepare the menu for their family and friends.

Each DWD class includes sampling healthy foods and discussion with Certafied Diabetic Educator, Robert Westbrook.
