Dining with Diabetes teaches individuals with diabetes and their families about better ways to prepare food that may improve their diabetes management. The program is open to anyone with diabetes, their family members or caretakers.  Demonstrations on how to prepare recipes that are healthy, use less fat, salt and sugar without cutting taste are a key part of the program.  There will be an opportunity to taste a variety of main dishes, side dishes and desserts.
