The Lions Clubs International has made significant strides in combating diabetes in the United States.
Through their Diabetes Prevention and Management program, Lions Clubs have provided more than 1 million glucose tests, identifying thousands of Americans with undiagnosed diabetes.
Some of the key achievements:
• Over 1 million glucose tests administered
• Thousands of undiagnosed diabetics identified and referred for treatment
• Partnerships with healthcare organizations to promote diabetes awareness and education
• Support for local diabetes initiatives and community outreach programs
• Early detection and treatment have saved countless lives
• Reduced diabetes-related complications and healthcare costs
• Empowered individuals and communities to take control of their health
The Key Biscayne Lions Club is committed to continuing this important work locally. We will be offering free glucose tests for adults every two months, along with hearing and vision screenings for adults and kids.
