Health Screenings

4. Blood glucose:

Diabetes, a disease in which blood glucose levels are above normal, can contribute to serious health complications. Uncontrolled diabetes increases one’s risk for cardiovascular disease.  The blood glucose test involves a blood sample via finger stick and is a screening (not a diagnostic test) for diabetes. For the blood glucose test, participants need to fast (no food or drink other than water) prior to this screening.

Health screenings are conducted by a Certified Health Education Specialist or Registered Dietitian. Health Screening Events also include results provided to the individual, education on exercise/nutrition recommendations as needed, and a confidential composite summary of screening results for the business.
