The meeting for Monday, February 25, will be "An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure" presented by Jamie Lee,
RN, CDE, Diabetes Education Coordinator for Lake Cumberland District Health
Department. Lee will be discussing the
importance of food in relation to your overall health. Every three seconds someone is diagnosed with
diabetes, and of the people diagnosed with type II diabetes, 80 to 90 percent
are also diagnosed as obese. Since there
is a link between obesity and diabetes, she will also be discussing diabetes
basics: risk factors, signs and symptom, and prevention.
Please make plans to attend each Monday evening. Weigh-ins will begin at 4:45 pm with the program following at 5:30 pm in the Conference Centers on the basement level of Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.
