If you have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or if you have had it for a while but have trouble understanding what to eat or how to keep up with your readings, we have a program designed to help.

Do Well, Be Well with diabetes is a nine lesson program that discusses what diabetes is and how to manage it.  Each class is taught by a dietitian, nutritionist, nurse or physician with knowledge specific to diabetics.  The nine classes will be taught over a 5 week period beginning on Thursday, June 21 from 6:00 – 9:00 pm.  The cost is $30 per person to attend the five week series which runs on consecutive Thursdays through July 19.  Some scholarships are available if you have type 2 diabetes but can not afford the $30 fee.

The class series will be held in the Assembly room of the Grayson County Courthouse, 100 W. Houston St, downtown Sherman.  You must pre-register to attend.  You can pre-register by calling Joyce White, County Extension Agent – Family and Consumer Sciences at 903-813-4203 or you can stop by the Texas AgriLife Extension Office on the 2nd floor of the courthouse to pick up the registration form.
