Individuals who want to learn how to better manage diabetes are invited to participate in a course offered by Penn State Extension on March 26 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. and April 2, 9, and 16 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

There will be a follow-up class on June 25.

The workshops are held at the YMCA of Indiana County, 60 N. Ben Franklin Road.

Dining with Diabetes is a nationally accredited diabetes education program that is geared toward anyone who has type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, has a family member with type 2 diabetes or is at risk for developing diabetes. Trained extension educators, in consultation with registered dietitians and diabetes educators, lead the discussions.

Each class offers information on healthy food and physical activity choices, food demonstrations and tasting, and guidance on important numbers to know for managing diabetes.

In addition to program-related booklets, participants will receive the Dining with Diabetes cookbook and have the option of having their A1C tested at the first and follow-up classes.

A1C is a nonfasting blood test obtained by a finger stick. Results show a three-month average blood glucose level.
