Rotary meeting to have diabetes speaker

On July 22, the Rotary Club of Fair Oaks will have Dr. Christine
Lee speak on diabetes.

At the Fair Oaks Community Clubhouse meeting, the author of
“The Essentials of Diabetes” and “The Essentials of Insulin” will talk about
the causes of diabetes, how it damages the body and how to control it.

The Rotary Club of Fair Oaks has nearly 70 members who meet
weekly to hear speakers, network and provide service to others.

“Knowing how common diabetes is, we were very interested in
having Dr. Lee speak at our meeting,” said Jim Cralle, Fair Oaks Rotary program
chair and President of Capitol Association Plans.    

Diabetes affects one in seven people in California. More
than 60 percent of adults in California are overweight. Increasing obesity is
fueling the increase in diabetes. 

A doctor of pharmacy, Lee has helped people with diabetes for
the past 20 years.

 “I knew I could make
a difference when I saw people who felt life was passing them by, people who
were scared and didn’t know what to do to take control of their health,” said Lee, founder of Optimal Life, a company that
provides educational tools for chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma,
among others.
