LEWISTON — The Central Maine Endocrinology and Diabetes Center will host a free program, “Taking Control,” at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, presented by Carolyn Wright.
About 40 percent of people diagnosed with diabetes have not achieved the blood sugar control target of an A1C level of less than 7 percent, as recommended by the American Diabetes Association for many people with diabetes. The A1C test measures average blood glucose levels over the past two-to three-month period.
The goal of the hourlong presentation, according to organizer Jamie Pepin, is to show those with diabetes “how to consistently keep their A1C levels under control.”
“This is the second of four planned community education presentations,” said Pepin. “The event is sponsored by pharmaceutical company Sanofi, and is part of the A1C Champions educational program that helps people learn to successfully manage their own diabetes, and share information, advice and motivation with others.”
Pepin encourages those who are interested in learning better strategies for managing their diabetes to attend this free event, which will be held in Conference Room H on the lower level of 12 High St.
