One in ten Americans has diabetes. Many more have prediabetes and do not know it. Type 2 can develop slowly, with few or no symptoms, while it quietly affects the heart, the kidneys, the eyes, the nerves, and the circulation.

That is why Montgomery County Memorial Hospital and Clinics is using Diabetes Awareness Month to make the first step as simple as walking into the lab.

 

For the month of November, a hemoglobin A1C is $10 at the main hospital lab.

• Where: main hospital lab, in the lobby, 2301 Eastern Avenue, Red Oak.

• When: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• No appointment.

• No doctor’s order.

• No fasting.

• Open to anyone, whether your primary care provider is at MCMH or somewhere else.

• It does not go against your insurance. You pay the $10.
