Cooking Classes
Taking healthy cooking classes can provide numerous benefits for managing or preventing diabetes. These classes focus on teaching individuals how to prepare nutritious meals that promote stable blood sugar levels and overall health. Participating in healthy cooking classes equips individuals with practical skills, nutritional knowledge, and a supportive community. These benefits can contribute significantly to managing and preventing diabetes by promoting healthier eating habits, better blood sugar control, weight management, and overall well-being.
- Classes are held every third Wednesday of each month
- All materials are provided by TNH
Shoe Program
Special footwear with features such as cushioning, support, and flexibility that can benefit individuals with diabetes are available to patients. These shoes often prioritize comfort, stability, and proper fit, which are important considerations for individuals who may have foot sensitivity, neuropathy, or other foot-related complications associated with diabetes.
Shoe Program Eligibility/Rules/Regulations:
- New TNH patients and patients newly diagnosed with diabetes must have a 3-month and 6-month appointment scheduled with their provider after their initial diagnosis before being provided a pair of shoes.
- Existing diabetic patients must have attended 2 appointments with bloodwork within the calendar year in order to receive shoes.
- Patient must receive full diabetes care from TNH. This includes follow-ups every 3-6 months with their provider, depending on needs, and regular complete bloodwork as prescribed.
- Patients who receive diabetes care elsewhere may not participate in shoe program, as this can potentially be dangerous to their care.
- A foot exam will be required in order to receive a pair of shoes.
- Patients will be provided a maximum of 2 pairs of shoes per year, no closer than 6 months apart.
- Shoes are distributed as they are available, therefore limiting the ability to offer preference in color or type.
