Hopedale Medical Complex will host a free event for those who have diabetes on November 1 from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. in the Wellness Center Conference Room. The event will include food demonstrations with taste testing (so save a couple of carbohydrate exchanges for the evening!), prizes and giveaways.

Participants at the event will discover tasty, easy-to-make dishes that are diabetic-friendly. The event is free to those with diabetes and one guest. Seating is limited to 20 participants so call soon to make reservations – (309) 449-4500.

“Managing your diet is of particular importance for those with diabetes,” said Karen Watt, Dietary Director for Hopedale Medical Complex. “Events like these are a great way to learn new and simple ways to make great meals, so your diet doesn’t feel so limited.”
