Okay, now that we’ve started with a real downer of a post, here’s the good news. From 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday, September 13 at every Sam’s Club location that has a pharmacy, you can benefit from a FREE diabetes screening valued at $250. You don’t have to be a Sam’s Club member to enjoy these screenings, as they are open to the public. Here’s the full lineup of tests you’ll have access to:
- A1C blood test
- Glucose
- Total Cholesterol, HDL (the good kind)
- Risk Ratio (aka the relationship between total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol)
- Blood pressure
- Body Fat percentage
Even if you don’t think you’re at risk for diabetes, it never hurts to have a second opinion. Especially when that second opinion is offered for FREE.
