Dining with Diabetes classes in Coshocton

Ohio State University Extension and Coshocton Regional Medical Center will offer Dining with Diabetes, a cooking school and nutrition education program designed for people with diabetes and their family members or caregivers.

In a series of four classes, cooking demonstrations will help participants learn healthy techniques to use in their own kitchens. The program includes sampling healthy foods and discussion with a dietitian about skills to manage diabetes.

Dining with Diabetes will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursdays, July 9, 16, 23 and 30. Two classes will be at Coshocton Regional Medical Center, and two classes will involve demonstration meal preparation in Three Rivers Fire Station's community room on state Route 621 near Canal Lewisville.

The cost of the program is $20 per person and includes all four classes, educational handouts and small-sized meals that feature a variety of recipes. Participants are encouraged to also register a support person to attend for an additional $10. Classes will be taught by Leslie Mayle, registered dietitian at Coshocton Regional Medical Center, and Emily Marrison, OSU Extension family and consumer sciences educator.

Paid registration is required by Thursday, July 2. Registration is limited to 20 participants. To register, visit go.osu.edu/coshoctondwd or call OSU Extension at 740-622-2265.
