ABOUT ABOUT

This event focuses on educating patients about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in relation to preventing the development of diabetes and pre-diabetes. More than 88 million adults in the U.S. have pre-diabetes, and more than 84% of them do not know that they have it. Educating patients on what pre-diabetes is and how to prevent it is crucial to the health of our communities. We also want to educate patients who already have diabetes to ensure that they are managing it to the best of their abilities. This includes education on proper injection technique, how to check blood glucose, looking out for signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia, and how to manage hypoglycemia as it presents.
