DERBY - The Diabetes Education & Support Group at Griffin Hospital will host two free talks about carbohydrate conscious eating at 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sept. 13 at the hospital, 130 Division St..
Certified Diabetes Educator Mary Swansiger, BSN, MPH, will present “Carbohydrate Counting: Skills into Practice.”
Carb counting is a good tool to use when trying to gain greater control of blood sugar levels while still enjoying a wide variety of foods.
However, there are common questions that arise when trying to put carb counting into practice. Using the ‘gram counting’ method, this program will help answer some of those questions, including how to measure portions to correctly estimate total carbohydrates, how to count fiber, and what to do when dining out, and eating combination foods.
Record keeping and pattern management will also be discussed.
The 2:30 p.m. presentation will be in Dining Room #2 and the 6:30 p.m. presentation will be in the Childbirth Education Classroom A.
There is free valet parking for the 2:30 p.m. session.
