The Board of Health is offering a free screening program for diabetes and hypertension. Pre-registration is necessary. Call the Board of Health nurses for an appointment and dietary instructions.
Those over 40, overweight or related to a diabetic should be tested for diabetes once or twice a year. Those being screened are advised to avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours before testing. Following dietary instructions is important for the test results to be accurate.
