Kansas State University and the University of Kansas Medical Center are using a National Institutes of Health grant to determine if having K-State Research and Extension deliver a diabetes prevention program across Kansas is an effective way of getting information out to rural communities. K-State Extension nutrition specialist Sandy Procter, a trained coach for the National Diabetes Prevention Program, says the six-month pilot program will be launched in Lyon and Dickinson counties.

Sound Living is a weekly public affairs program addressing issues related to families and consumers. It is hosted by Jeff Wichman. Each episode shares the expertise of K-State specialists in fields such as child nutrition, food safety, adult development and aging, youth development, family resource management, physical fitness and more.
