November marked Diabetes Awareness Month, and to support community wellness, Kim Terrell, Family & Consumer Sciences (FCS) Agent and Registered Dietitian, led an engaging Dining with Diabetes program. The session focused on practical strategies for managing diabetes through everyday food choices. Participants learned the basics of diabetes-friendly meal planning, including carbohydrate counting, portion control, and helpful holiday meal guidelines designed to make festive gatherings healthier and less stressful.

To wrap up the class, attendees enjoyed a tasting of several low-carb dessert recipes—a delicious reminder that managing diabetes doesn’t mean giving up sweet treats. The recipes showcased how simple ingredient swaps can create desserts that are both flavorful and blood-sugar friendly.

Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Many praised the clarity of the information, the hands-on tasting experience, and Kim’s practical approach to diabetes education. Several attendees even requested additional classes, highlighting the ongoing need for accessible, nutrition-focused programs in the community.

Additional nutrition related classes including Med Instead of Meds are planned for the Spring. Stay tuned to our website and Facebook page for more information.

Below are the low-carb recipes shared in class.
