Dining With Diabetes Cooking School Starts Aug. 10

Friday, July 09, 2010

The University of Tennessee and Tennessee State University (UT-TSU) Extension offers a program called Dining with Diabetes for people with diabetes and their families. Program partners for promoting diabetes care and diet management include: Volunteer State Health Plan, Volunteers in Medicine, Hamilton County Health department, and Chattanooga Parks and Recreation.

The first step in controlling blood sugar is following a carefully planned menu. This seems to be one of the hardest steps in diabetes control.

Dorothy Simmons said, “Dining with Diabetes Cooking School helps by teaching people with diabetes to reduce sugar, salt, and fat in their diets; without giving up good taste.”

The Dining with Diabetes Cooking School allows opportunity for hands-on cooking experiences, nutrition education along with sharing and receiving information to carefully plan for success in taking charge of the diabetes.

The next start date for the program to begin at Carver Recreation Center, 600 Orchard Knob St., is Tuesday, Aug. 10, 12-2 p.m. Call the UT-TSU Extension Office at 855-6113 for registration or e-mail Dorothy Simmons, dsimmons@tnstate.edu for program information.

Thoughts On The Mathews Sentencing

It is not by coincidence I haven’t submitted an opinion piece in some time to the Chattanoogan.  The topics I cover are generally vitriolic in regards to local political decisions and their makers regarding public safety and I do not wish to associate my name with more noble subjects such as that of the heroic death and cowardly murder of Chattanooga Police Sergeant Tim Chapin, ...

Thank You, Judge Mattice And Chattanooga

I would like to thank Judge Mattice for handing down a 30.5 year sentence for Kathleen Mathews.  Obviously, no amount of jail time, fines, or lashings can bring back Tim Chapin.   A 30-year sentence will, however, make the world just a little safer.  That's what Sgt. Chapin would have wanted.  He was a protector and sacrificed his life so the rest of ... (click for more)
