Diana Endsley, RN, diabetic educator will speak. LuAnn Duncan, Extension Educator for the OSU Extension office will do a cooking demonstration geared to diabetics and it will be served to those attending. In addition, Florence Schermer will speak on a topic of interest to diabetics.

The lecture will be presented by Molly Baer, RN of the Cardiac Rehab department at KCH; a cooking demonstration and light meal will be prepared by LuAnn; and Florence will speak on dietary measures to control lipid levels.
