Event Details

April is Defeat Diabetes Month! 

Hy-Vee is committed to the cause so our Hy-Vee Healthy You Mobiles will be on the road again in April for 21 days and make 147 stops at different Hy-Vee stores within our major markets!  Free Hemoglobin A1C screenings will be offered at each event site by the stores' Hy-Vee Dietitians with the support of our powered by sponsors: Plant-Based Vega, Ascensia Diabetes Care & Bing Beverage!

Thanks to the great response we had from our last HgbA1c screening event, your Lenexa Hy-Vee will be a stop on the tour again in April!  We will take some sign-ups again along with walk-ins on a first come, first served basis while supplies last and as time allows.

WHY:

• Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes are serious diseases that happens when your blood sugar (or blood glucose) is too high. Left untreated, it can lead to severe health complications.  The key is to catch it early and then manage it through diet, exercise and sometimes medication!  Fortunately, your Hy-Vee Dietitian can help you make small lifestyle changes that can lead to big results and major health improvements.
