Salt Lake City, UT (February 25, 2012) – A new diabetes education and nutrition program is being offer for FREE to interested patients and caregivers at select Associated Food Stores along the Wasatch Front.
These
in-store events provide people impacted by diabetes with a unique opportunity
to learn how to better manage the disease and how to shop for menu choices to
improve health.
Each 90-minute
class is led by a specially trained Diabetes Care Pharmacists and a Registered
Dietician. The class begins with a pharmacist-led presentation regarding
diabetes, proper testing, and medication adherence. The Registered Dietician teaches
food options, portion sizes, and nutrition label decoding. The majority of the class
is spent walking through the store.
According
the Registered Dietician, Harmony Mitchell, “This class is different than your
typical diabetes education class because it is interactive. We teach in a
hands-on environment. We have the advantage of offering a grocery store
shipping experience to reinforce nutrition training.”
Space in
each class is limited and requires registration. Interested individuals may contact
any of the store listed below for details, or can register for a class online
at www.afstores.com/DiabetesReg.
