The University of Illinois Extension is offering “I on Diabetes,” a four-part series beginning May 1 in Eureka.

Jenna Smith, nutrition and wellness educator and registered dietician for the Extension, explains how the class works.

“It is really designed to help you manage diabetes, and if you don’t have diabetes, it’s really a good program to help you think about ways to prevent diabetes, because no one wants that. It’s a great program that usually costs money, and this year, it is absolutely free, because we got a grant. So I’m super excited about that,” Smith said.
