Watch from home, or join us at Bread for the City to watch and engage together as a group.
Cooking and Eating for Prevention of Diabetes
Wednesday, November 19 | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Virtual via Microsoft Teams
In this interactive session, Registered Dietitian Caroline Schmalz and SNAP Education Manager Danielle Turner (both of the YMCA) will show you how to create balanced, flavorful meals that support better blood sugar control — without giving up the foods you love.
You’ll learn:
  • What a balanced plate looks like for pre-diabetes
  • How to manage carbs, stay hydrated, and make small, realistic changes that fit your lifestyle
  • Simple, affordable recipes you can make at home
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or simply want to eat smarter, this class will give you the confidence to use food as a tool for better health.
