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.
