Healthy Recipes
Healthy recipes that are diabetes friendly do not need to be tasteless,
nor should they be difficult to find. When implimenting a diabetes treatment
plan it is critical to maintain a healthy diet by making healthy food
choices, understanding food labels, calculating calorie needs and being
mindful of carbohydrate protein and fat intake.
The Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Center offers free cooking classes focusing
healthy cooking and nutrition management for those with diabetes and interested
in diabetes.
