 Lilly Diabetes recently sponsored a diabetic educator/registered dietician at Minnie Hamilton Health System. Kara Anthony (left) of Concerned Nutrition Consultants spoke to a group of ten individuals who are living with diabetes.
During her presentation, Ms. Anthony explained the national protocol in diagnosing diabetes, how often blood sugars should be checked, defined "earned" blood sugar and meal recommendations. The majority of the conversation centered on healthy meal planning, reading food labels and the need for regular physical activity.
Ms. Anthony engaged the group in an active question session and was able to assist in finding the best solutions for the different parties at the meeting. She has agreed to come back and host a second session at Minnie Hamilton on September 18 at 1:00 p.m.
If you or a family member are living with diabetes and interested in participating, please contact Barb McKown at bmckown@mhhcc.com or 304-354-9700 ext 1235.
