Get a free diabetes check in Albury
18 JULY 2014
Are you concerned about diabetes and your heart's health? Are you over 40 years old and in good or poor health? As part of National Diabetes Week that started on 13 July, Charles Sturt University (CSU) researchers will offer free screening tests for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and heart health to people with or without diabetes. "People from southern NSW and North East Victoria can attend the screening clinic at CSU in Albury-Wodonga to help us better understand the prevalence of diabetes in regional Australia, which we already know is higher than for all Australia," said senior diabetes researcher Dr Herbert Jelinek from the School of Community Health. To book an appointment for a diabetes screening test or for more information, contact research assistant Ms Bev DeJong on (02) 6051 9210. People unable to attend the clinic at Thurgoona can also discuss this with Ms DeJong for alternative locations.
