With the lifestyle Roadshow arriving at Durham County, people can get their diabetes risk testing carried out for free. It is claimed that one of the most prevalent ailments affecting citizens living in the US is Diabetes. It is a disease that can create a lot of grave problems like heart condition, blindness and stroke if it has not been identified in its early stages or for that matter is left undetected.
Approximately 7,000 residents in the county of Durham are suspected to be affected by Type 2 diabetes and the fact is that they are unaware of their condition. The Diabetes UK Healthy Lifestyle Roadshow would be conducted on the 25thj and 26th of June in the Casltedene Shopping Centre at Peterlee. The authorities concerned are of the belief that they can explain the dangers of the disease and inform the people about how they can prevent the disease from affecting them by making alterations in their lifestyles.
The members of the Diabetes UK would provide free tests that would identify whether a person is at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in the course of the next decade. There would also be dieticians who would be able to counsel people regarding how they can change their lifestyle by altering their food habits and by working out regularly. Regional Manager of Northern and Yorkshire Diabetes UK, Ms. Linda Wood stated that diabetes was one of the most significant challenges related to health that they were being faced with.
She stated that she would advise all the people to make a visit to the Health Lifestyle Roadshow by Diabetes UK and that it would be one of the most excellent things that they could do for their health and life.
