This workshop series is ideal for people with:

Part 2 of the Understanding Diabetes Workshop is led by a Registered Dietitian and focuses on the nutritional components of diabetes management.
In this interactive session, you will learn:
- Food and nutrition myths and facts as it relates to blood sugar management
- How to properly balance and time your meals and snacks for optimal blood sugar control
- The difference between glycemic index and glycemic load to improve blood sugar control
To ensure you get the most out of this series, this session includes an open Q&A period at the end.
Did you know that you may be eligible for a one-on-one consultation with a Dietitian?
If you are looking for more support beyond the group class and you have a family physician in the South Calgary Primary Care Network, you can ask your family physician for a referral to see a Dietitian for an individual consultation.
