According to 2015-2017 Kentucky Health Facts, 21% of the adult population in Breathitt County have diabetes. Managing this disease can be difficult unless adults learn basic skills related to healthy food choices.

The Breathitt County SNAP-Ed Assistant taught Breathitt County adults the Healthy Choices Curriculum during the program Cooking with Kati. As a part of these classes, participants learned about planning meals, reading labels, and limiting their sugar intake.

Entry and exit forms were used as a method to track participant’s behavior change and eating habits. 100% of participants showed an improvement in their overall diet quality, thus participants learned how to better manage their diabetes.
