Raley’s and Organic Bistro help diabetics

SACRAMENTO, Calif. Supermarkets under Raley’s banners are teaming up with Organic Bistro Whole Life Meals to provide free classes, educational material and low-priced healthy products for consumers with diabetes.

As part of the program, Raley’s corporate dietitian Earline Griffith is visiting many of Raley’s 129 stores on a tour to conduct classes educating diabetics on how to better manage their condition and lead a healthier life.

“We want to provide customers fighting diabetes with resources and realistic meal solutions so that achieving a healthy lifestyle is convenient,” said Griffith.

In support of Raley’s educational outreach, Organic Bistro is providing customers with coupons for its frozen entree products that are available at Raley’s stores including Raley’s Supermarkets, Bel Air Markets and Nob Hill Foods. The coupons are for its line of Whole Life Meals, which are suitable for diabetics because they contain a low glycemic index and load, which measures how quickly foods turn into sugar.
