The BLD program consists of six weekly two-hour class sessions, and a reunion class. Targeting individuals with Type 2 diabetes or a hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5 percent. The program is conducted by local Family and Consumer Science Extension Agents in collaboration with community partners. A registered dietitian (RD) or certified diabetes educator (CDE) from the community co-facilitates the program with the Extension Agent and an Extension Master Food Volunteer assists with food demonstration for each of the six weekly class sessions. Each class consists of an interactive presentation accompanied by an active learning component to reinforce class content.
