Individuals who want to learn how to better manage diabetes can now register for a series of classes offered by Penn State Extension.

"Dining with Diabetes" is a diabetes education program taught by Penn State Extension educators. It is geared toward anyone with Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes or a family member with Type 2 diabetes.

Each series includes four consecutive weekly classes with a follow-up class three months later. The classes offer information on healthy food and physical activity choices, food demonstrations and guidance on important numbers for managing diabetes. Participants will receive the "Dining with Diabetes" cookbook and course-related handouts and materials.

A new series is planned in Lancaster at the Farm and Home Center, 1381 Arcadia Road, on Mondays starting on Monday, Oct. 30, from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information or to register by Thursday, Oct. 19, visit http://www.extension.psu.edu/dining-with-diabetes.

The Pennsylvania State University encourages qualified persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. Those who anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided are asked to contact Stacy Reed at 717-394-6851 in advance of their participation or visit.
