The Diabetes Club of Fox Valley’s September Meet and Greet, organized by media chairperson, Ann McBride, to expose our Club and our mission, will be held this Saturday, Sept. 14, at Panera Bread, 1450 Douglas Road, in Oswego, from 9 a.m. to noon. Why not stop in, meet some of our members, and pick up information on diabetes, prediabetes and healthy meal plans.
Members of the Diabetes Club of Fox Valley work together, to provide diabetes awareness in the Fox Valley area, while raising funds to provide aid, education, and research to find a cure for diabetes.
Uncontrolled blood sugar (glucose) can cause vision problems, heart problems, nerve damage, dental problems, kidney damage, and loss of limbs.
Diet and exercise are two of the most powerful tools we all have to help control our blood glucose. Eat healthy, stay active, and have a yearly blood test, to stay diabetes-free!
