A SPECIAL diabetes session will take place tonight in Kidderminster.
The open event to promote national diabetes week takes place from 6pm until 8pm in the treatment centre at Kidderminster Hospital.
Fred Holland chairman of Diabetes UK’s Wyre Forest branch said: “For those who have diabetes we hope they will take advantage of trade stands, local Diabetes UK representatives, retinal screening, dietary information and more.
“There will also be on-the-spot diabetes testing by Lloyds Pharmacy. We are look for people who are at risk - generally those who are overweight, over 40 and have a history of diabetes in their family.”
The event is sponsored by the Wyre Forest branch of the Diabetes UK charity and diabetes specialist nurses Dawn Edwards, Lyn Gilbert and Jadwiga Bornes will be at the session.
