Diabetes Screening

Saturday, April 7
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Hale YMCA
9 Technology Park Drive, Putnam

The public is invited to this free clinic to get screened for diabetes. People with diabetes may not have any symptoms, that's why it's so important to get screened. It is estimated that one-third of people with diabetes are unaware of their condition. 

A diabetes screening is recommended if you are overweight and have one or more of the following risk factors:

• Family history of diabetes (a parent or sibling with the disease)
• Sedentary lifestyle
• African-American, Hispanic-American, Native-American, Asian-American, or Pacific Islander ancestry
• History of blood glucose problems
• History of gestational diabetes or a baby weighing over nine pounds
• High blood pressure
• Cholesterol problems
• Polycystic ovary syndrome
• History of vascular disease

This event is brought to the community in partnership by Day Kimball Healthcare, Hale YMCA, Putnam Lions and Chase Graphics.
