March 6 - Prediabetes Workshop
Waverly Health Center (WHC) will host a “Prediabetes” workshop on Tuesday, March 6, from 3 to 5 p.m. The workshop will be held in Tendrils Rooftop Garden on the WHC campus.
“Prediabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to qualify as type 2 diabetes,” stated Janine Johnson, RN, WHC diabetes program coordinator. “People with prediabetes are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes later. The good news is that the onset of type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed.”
This event is free and open to those who have diabetes in their family, or those who have been told they have borderline diabetes.
Please park in the Red Lot and enter through the Tendrils Rooftop Garden event entrance, located south of the Center Pharmacy drive-up.
