JACKSON, Wyo. — In recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month, St. John’s Health will offer free diabetes screenings throughout November to help identify individuals with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.

The screening will include an A1C test, which measures an individual’s average blood sugar level over the past three months. Information on diet and exercise will also be provided.

If you are age 45 or older and you identify with at least one of the following, you are eligible for this screening:

Family history of diabetes
Overweight
Not a regular exerciser
Low HDL cholesterol and/or high triglycerides
High blood pressure
Gestational diabetes

St. John’s also has a free online screening available for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. Upon completion of the online screening, St. John’s Diabetes & Nutrition will follow up with you if you are at risk for type 2 diabetes.
