The American Red Cross is offering free A1C testing throughout March.
Spokeswoman Sue Thesenga says those tests are important for most anyone…
“Health is not just a personal journey; it’s part of our life-saving mission. You know, when people are healthy, they’re good blood donors, and so we need to help bridge the healthcare gaps like un-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension.”
Thesenga says so far, about one in five donors are coming back with pre-diabetic or diabetic levels.
