Free diabetes class on healthy eating

The Pinal County Public Health District will sponsor a free diabetes class on Thursday at the Maricopa Public Health Clinic. The topic this May: Healthy Eating and Diabetes.

The class is from 3 to 5 p.m. at 41600 W. Smith-Enke Road, Building 15 (near the Maricopa Library).

Since diabetes is largely self-managed and about 99 percent of the care comes from the patients and their families, it is an important skill to know what and how much to cook and eat.

These classes will offer up-to-date, practical “how-to” information and skill building on monitoring, healthy eating, being active, problem solving, medications, and reducing risks.

The class is taught by Sheri Steincamp, MS, RDN, CDE, CHWC, and will cover topics such as carbohydrate counting and meal planning.

Please call Rosanna at 520-866-7313 to reserve your spot or just show up.  Walk-ins are always welcome.
