Dining with diabetes, North Dakota style
Lori Scharmer is an agent with the North Dakota State University Extension Service in Ward County.
Diabetes has hit North Dakota hard. One in 10 North Dakota adults has diabetes, either diagnosed or undiagnosed. There are 32,000 adults in North Dakota who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Another 16,000 adults have the disease but don’t know it. There are 15 new cases of diabetes diagnosed every day in North Dakota.
Living well with diabetes is possible but takes planning, discipline and learning new ways to eat for our health. To help with that learning process, the program “Dining with Diabetes North Dakota Style” will be offered in the Minot area this spring. The North Dakota State University Extension Service has partnered with First District Health Unit, Trinity Health and the St Joseph’s Community Health Foundation to bring the program to this area.
