The committee also does diabetic screening tests at health fairs, walks, street fairs, chili cook offs, fish fry’s, etc. and distributes Diabetic information and books wherever large crowds celebrate and the local Lions Club wishes to set up a booth. The Committee can also perform Total Cholesterol and Full Lipid Panel (HDL, LDL, TG, Total) Tests with advance arrangement. The Committee works closely with the American Diabetes Association and Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD.org) in promoting Diabetic Seminars and fund raising.
The Committee has appreciated the assistance of Roche Diagnostics Advantage, Johnson & Johnson Lifescan, and Metrika (A1cNow) for donating their meters and medical supplies.
