Course Description: Balancing Blood Sugar with Nutrition

High blood sugar affects an estimated 35% of Americans and is on the rise. This class offers those with prediabetes a chance to balance blood sugar levels through diet and lifestyle adjustments - and prevent their condition from becoming diabetes. In this class, led by Integrative Nutritionist Dianne Porter, you'll discover which foods increase blood sugar levels and which ones are more stabilizing. You'll learn how to pair foods to optimize how your body handles glucose and insulin, and you'll understand how to make smart food choices while still enjoying dining out.

Dianne Porter

Biography: Dianne earned a Master of Science in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport. Her philosophy is that nutrition isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. The body, mind and spirit are all actively involved and overlap in the pursuit of wellness. Diet, exercise, stress reduction, beliefs and spiritual renewal are all integral to finding the wellness formula that's right for each individual at a given point in his/her life. Dianne's holistic approach seeks to integrate dietary, environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors in an effort to improve general health and wellness.

Prior to relocating to Central Oregon, Dianne spent nearly 20 years in Alaska working in public relations and marketing. She is a passionate cook and enjoys the abundance of fresh, clean food available in Central Oregon. She and her husband enjoy the outdoors with their two dogs.
