According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of American adults have prediabetes, and 90% of them don’t even know it. Higher than normal blood glucose levels raise your risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as type 2 diabetes. Learn about small steps you can take to lower  your diabetes risk in the program, “Eating to Reduce the Risk of Diabetes” taught by University of Illinois Extension Registered Dietitian, Jenna Smith. You’ll take home a packet of recipes and diabetes information.

Join us on September 24 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the El Paso District Library, 149 W. First Street, El Paso, IL 61738.

The cost of the program is $3/person to cover the cost of food. Register online, at the El Paso Library, or by calling the McLean County Extension office at 309-663-8306.
