7th Leading Cause of Death in the US
Serious Complications including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and lower-limb amputation!

Get Screened and "Know Your Numbers"
7-million Americans are undiagnosed and unaware
Your Annual Physical includes a Blood Glucose Test
Recipe of the Month: Lower Blood Sugar!
Processed, prepackaged foods tend to be high in sugar, sodium and unhealthy fats increasing the risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes. Healthier whole foods tend to be on the outside of the grocery store, shopping the "perimeter" increases the likelihood of filling your cart with nutrient rich foods! Salads loaded with vegetables and proteins (chicken, fish, eggs, steak, beans, cheese) are very healthy and satisfying. Consider putting it in a whole grain wrap, you will not be disappointed!
