Dining with Diabetes
Do you have type 2 diabetes? Would you like to learn more about your disease and how to live well reducing your health risks? If so, Purdue Extension has a great program for you!
The Marshall County Life Enrichment Center along with Purdue Extension - Marshall County will be offering Dining with Diabetes sessions beginning Tuesday, November 10th from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm at the Life Enrichment Center, 1305 W Harrison St., Plymouth. Dining with Diabetes is a series of five sessions, including a three-month reunion session. The Dining with Diabetes program is open to those with diabetes, their family members and caretakers. The series of five sessions is $25.00. Pre-registration and payment is required. Participants are encouraged to attend all class sessions.
The educational programs and cooking school will help adults with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar to feel better and reduce risk of health complications. You will learn how to prepare meals that are healthy, easy to prepare and taste good. Recipes will be demonstrated, and participants will have the opportunity to taste each one. Participants will also learn up-to-date information on nutrition, meal planning, exercise and how to understand common diabetes-related medical tests. Recipe and handouts will be given to each participant.
Diabetes is a very serious and costly disease, but research has shown that those who learn to manage their blood glucose (sugar) levels eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly can lower their risks of complications and lead a healthier and more productive life.
If you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, or know someone and are part of the support system for an individual and are interested in being a part of this program, please call Marshall County Council on Aging at 574-936-9904 by November 6th to register. The $25.00 program fee includes educational classes, program materials and food sampling. Dining with Diabetes is offered statewide and is sponsored by Purdue Extension.
Evaluate and Investigate
As the 2020 gardening year draws to a close, now is the time to ensure a successful gardening season next year, for you or your customers!Sanitation is a cornerstone of integrated pest management and is essential for good plant health management.
Good sanitation, in the form of removing diseased plant material this fall will help minimize or even prevent disease problems next spring. Many disease-causing organisms can survive the winter in infected plant debris. Cutting back infected plants, disposing diseased plants (by burning or the garbage—do not compost!), or tilling under crop debris can also help prevent over-wintering of plant disease causing organisms.
Before you begin your sanitation program, bring out a notebook to take records of what did and did not work, what will need dividing in the spring, and what needs to be moved to a different site. Remember to accurately identify which pests you have and what crops they attack!
For numerous perennials, failure to divide is a leading cause of crown (Fig. 1). If you haven’t started a pest management, customer yard, or gardening log, consider doing so. Make notes about problems and research potential solutions over the winter. Evaluate which varieties did well and which you should consider replacing. Did your rose defoliate in July? Look for the many disease resistant roses or investigate what fungicides or insecticides you may wish to purchase if you or your customer wants to keep the problem child. The rose blackspot bulletin can help you with both. Was powdery mildew a problem for your bee-balm? Consider moving it to a sunnier location in the spring (with better air flow) or remove it and replace it with a powdery mildew resistant variety, like ‘Jacob Cline’, or many of the new, petite and disease resistant bee balms.
