Event Details

During the month of April, the Hy-Vee Healthy You Mobile will be on tour, making more than 150 stops in the Midwest. Free hemoglobin A1C screenings will be offered at each event site from 8 a.m. to noon or 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Plus, customers get to go home with a goodie bag full of fun giveaways.

Hemoglobin A1C screenings include a blood test that measures your average blood glucose for the past 2 to 3 months. A result of less than 5.7% is normal, 5.7% to 6.4% is considered pre-diabetes, and 6.5% or higher is considered diabetes.

To sign up, follow this link https://www.hy-vee.com/stores/calendar/ please contact our Dietitian, Jenn 515-223-4597 or [email protected] with any questions.

Screenings will be on the Hy-Vee Healthy You Mobile in the store parking lot.

What better time to bring awareness? Diabetes is a disease that happens when your blood sugar (or blood glucose) is too high. Because insulin is the hormone that helps move glucose out of your blood and into your cells for energy, if your pancreas does not make enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood.
