The Diabetes Association, Inc. (DAI) offered a grocery shopping tour at the Pleasant Street PriceRite grocery store to teach members of the Latino community how to select and prepare foods that are compatible with a diabetic diet. Since the rate of diabetes is higher among people of Hispanic descent. DAI Hispanic Diabetes Outreach Coordinator Grace Diaz has teamed up with Stanley Street Treatment and Resources (SSTAR) dietitian Joan Barrett to present information in the very place that food selection decisions are made. Topics included ways to trim grocery bill and eat foods recommended for diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. This event was one of many presented entirely in Spanish to members of the growing Latino population in Fall River.
