The University of Illinois Extension Office, according to Nutrition and Wellness Educator Lisa Peterson, is excited to be able to offer a Diabetes webinar series to help those who have diabetes manage it. The webinar will be held on Wednesdays from 10am - 11am starting on October 14th.

There are a number of myths that Peterson will address in the webinar including the fact that if you have diabetes you have to cut out certain foods. 

Individuals with diabetes need to have a variety of different foods in their diet, according to Peterson.

Another myth that Peterson hears a lot is that people with diabetes can’t ever have any salt.  

Lisa Peterson was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
