The group meets the third Friday of each month at the Oasis Senior Center located at 2810 Woodlawn Road in Lincoln. This month the group will meet on June 17 and discuss how to navigate your favorite summer cookout foods and family gatherings without exceeding your carbohydrate budget.

The casual group meetings are free and do not require registration. Jennifer DiPasquale, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, leads the group.
