Calais, Maine \u2014 Twelve people from Calais, Baileyville and Princeton participated in the first four-week Dining with Diabetes Down East series, sponsored by University of Maine Cooperative Extension. Participants learned how to select healthful foods, plan satisfying meals and prepare easy recipes that everyone can enjoy. The community-based program complements medical care by teaching people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, as well as their family members and caregivers, what they can do to help control blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol. The series ran through May at Calais Methodist Home.<\/p>\n

The free four-week series begins May 28 at Ridgeview Apartments in Machias and June 25 at Labor of Love Nutrition Center in Eastport. Due to local demand, plans are underway to offer the series in Lubec this fall. If there is enough interest, registered dietitian-nutritionist Alan Majka also will offer the program in the Milbridge, Harrington, Cherryfield area.<\/p>\n
