POMPTON PLAINS — The holidays are just around the corner. Before you know it, there will be cookies and sweets aplenty. This can be a challenging time of year for those with diabetes.

diabetes friendly cooking demonstrations
sampling of healthy, fresh food
creative recipes and menus to take home that promote healthful eating for those with diabetes and their families during the holidays
The class will be held at the Chilton Health Network, 242 West Parkway, Pompton Plains, just 1.5 miles from the hospital, in the MICU classroom. Pre-registration is $10. For more information or to register, call 973-831-5000, extension 5720.
