On September 27th, I attended the health fair sponsored by the Macedonia SDA Church in Hempstead, New York.
Besides the different health organizations that were present, there were also health screening tests done for anyone interested. At the fair, I presented information on Prediabetes and Diabetes.
Did you know there are over 35 million Americans that have Diabetes and more than 8 million of that number do not know that they have it [1] ?
The numbers for Prediabetes are worse. There are over 95 million Americans adults with Prediabetes and many do not know that they have this condition [1]. Although more individuals know about Diabetes (and the different types of Diabetes), more education and support is needed regarding Prediabetes. This is where I can help.
If you would like information or resources on either condition, or if you would like to join a Prediabetes or Diabetes support group in-person or online, contact me today.
