About the event
Diabetes is a major public health problem of epidemic proportions. Eleven percent of the U.S. population 20 and older has diabetes (up from eight percent in 2007), and nearly one-third of those 65 and older have the disease1. Uncontrolled, diabetes can lead to complications from head to toe, including stroke, loss of vision, heart disease, kidney failure, and various problems due to nerve damage and circulatory problems. However, the road to diabetes does not have to be a one-way street. There is reason for hope! People who eat plant-based meals are less likely to ever develop diabetes, and for those who have diabetes, plant-based meals can help to improve blood sugar levels and prevent complications. The introductory class reveals the latest science behind this nutrition approach, provides a sampling of four dishes, and offers useful resources and simple ideas for getting started.
