Diabetes 101

Diabetes affects more people than ever. An estimated 26 million Americans have diabetes and 7 million are undiagnosed. Pre-diabetes, a condition in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are slightly high, but still below the level of a diagnosis, affects 35 percent of adults age 20 and older, and half of Americans age 65 and older.

Diabetes 101 brings together Rush-Copley Medical Group physicians, Rush-Copley Diabetes Center and Rush-Copley Healthplex to educate the community through three informative sessions packed with the latest diabetes information reviewed and approved by Rush-Copley’s medical director and endocrinologist. Whether you or a loved one has been diagnosed with diabetes, or suspect pre-diabetes, you can benefit from learning more!
