Navigating Healthy Eating with Diabetes through the Holidays

For many, Thanksgiving is an all-day feast of splurging on a variety of dishes and desserts. For those with diabetes, this may pose many threats and challenges.

North Oaks Dietetic Intern Miriam Lopez will discuss preparing healthy recipe options during the holidays at a free seminar at 4 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 9. This discussion may be beneficial for those with diabetes, and people who are interested in preparing diabetes-friendly meals.

Seating is limited and registration is required. Reserve your seat here or by calling (985) 243-9106.
