Screening session to help towards healthy holidays

  • 2012-11-26
A blood glucose screening event is taking place later today, hosted by ShopRite of Shelton and offering screening to all people in the community. During the seasonal rush, it is common to find that people do not always eat properly, nor do they worry as much about their health, which can especially be a problem for borderline diabetics or people who suspect they have high sugar counts – a message that will no doubt to emphasized through poster printing as Christmas approaches

ShopRite of Shelton is encouraging all people to know their numbers and protect their health. Each year, many people are diagnosed with diabetes and find that they need to pay special attention to their health. During the holidays, with all the rushing around, time restraints, and partying opportunities, attention to health can sometimes go out the window.

ShopRite is offering this courtesy service and is a portion of a renowned nationwide grocery store chain. This store is stocked with non-perishable items, dairy, personal care products, and fresh produce, making it convenient to pick up your holiday essentials and stop to have blood sugar numbers monitored.

This event is free to everyone and people who suspect they have sugar issues are invited to attend. The Free Blood Glucose Screening will be held today, November 26, starting at 4:00 pm at the ShopRite of Shelton located at 875 Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton, Connecticut. For additional details, please visit the ShopRite of Shelton website or call the store during business hours.
