Cooking classes
The UK Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center is hosting a series of free cooking classes for anyone with type1 or type 2 diabetes, people with prediabetes, or family members of those with diabetes. These cooking classes will discuss nutritional choices as a healthy lifestyle behavior to help individuals manage their diabetes. Participants will prepare and share a delicious meal with seasonal produce and healthy proteins.
