Outcome: Initial Outcome
More than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or prediabetes, according to a new report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In Boyd County we have an increase of individuals with symptoms of prediabetes and so a partnership with Kings Daughters Medical Center to create a non threatening informal group to deliver some valuable information about ways to change change our diet to improve or prevent the way our body deals with sugar and processes the insulin we make. The monthly sessions were very beneficial and at least 10 people attended each session to listen to the lesson which ranged from how our body deals with added sugar to the importance of maintaining proper medication intake. Each meeting also included a demonstration and sample of a recipe that would be appropriate for someone needing to alter their diet to help with the symptoms and complications of diabetes.
