Description
The purpose of this project was to improve diabetes self-management, knowledge of healthier diabetes eating habits, and cultural relevance through diabetes education and meal planning by including pertinent information in food boxes provided by a food pantry over two months of project implementation. The project provided culturally sensitive educational resources on diabetic food education and meal planning to individuals with diabetes, pre-diabetics, or those who prepare meals for diabetic individuals. The assistance of a qualified diabetes specialist was used to provide a collaborative effort offering educational support for participants' diabetes health goals and evidence-based diabetes food education.
