The local chapter of the American Diabetes Association is coordinating a health expo this Saturday April 13th at the Washington State Convention Center from 9 to 3. Find out your risk for developing diabetes, stroke, heart and kidney disease with free health screenings and consultations. Learn how to eat healthy, be active and change the future of diabetes in Seattle at the largest community gathering dedicated to health.
The EXPO is FREE and in addition to health screening includes cooking demonstrations, expert presentations, product and service exhibitors and much more! All screenings are available until supplies last. To ensure availability of screenings please plan to attend EXPO earlier in the day.
In King County, one in 16 adults has diabetes. And the American Diabetes Association states that there has never been a more urgent time to know your risk, because an estimated 79 million, or one in three American adults, have pre-diabetes. 25 percent of Americans who have type 2 diabetes don’t even know they have it. Find out if you are at risk for type 2 diabetes by taking a free diabetes risk test online at diabetes.org/risktest.
You can also call 2-1-1 to learn more about diabetes and find local organizations that can help, or visit diabetes.org.
