Harrison has new diabetic program

CADIZ — Ohio State University Extension/Harrison County has a new and free program called “Dining with Diabetes: Beyond the Kitchen,” a self-paced online course to help participants learn, share and chat with health professionals. To register, visit go.osu.edu/DWD–BTK and click “buy now.” The course will be added to cart for checkout at no cost, according to Joseph Maiorano, family and consumer sciences educator.

After completing the transaction, the participant will be required to create an account with campus.extension.org to take advantage of the materials provided.

Lessons include how important blood sugar and carbohydrates are for managing diabetes; how fats and sodium affect a healthy diet; the role vitamins, minerals and fiber play in a healthy diet; and how to make healthy food choices when eating out and shopping.

After completion of the course, participants are automatically entered into a quarterly drawing for a $100 Amazon.com gift card. For assistance, contact Dan Remley at remley.4@osu.edu or Susan Zies at zies.1@osu.edu.
