November is Diabetes Awareness Month 🩺📅

Did you know?
👉 1 in 10 Americans has diabetes, and 1 in 5 of them don’t know they have it (source: cdc.gov)
👉 There are two main types of diabetes:
Type 1: An autoimmune condition where the body doesn’t produce insulin.
Type 2: A condition where the body doesn’t use insulin effectively, often linked to lifestyle and genetics.

Let’s work together this November to raise awareness about diabetes, support those affected, and promote healthy habits that can make a difference. Early detection and proper management are key to preventing complications and improving lives. 💙

Thanks to your staff for all you do to help others. Also, thanks to High Point University and the High Point University Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy and American Pharmacists Association students. Lastly, thanks to our many sponsors at Sugar Check Charity, Inc.

The wonderful folks from Sugar Check Charity, Inc. dropped in with this amazing check for $5,000 last week for the clinic to purchase diabetic supplies for its clients. They also donated 1,000 dental bags that contained oral hygiene necessities and about 100 refrigerator magnets imprinted with helpful diabetes information.

Sugar Check teamed up with pharmacy students from the American Pharmacists Association students from the High Point University Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy to make the donation.

We are very thankful for this partnership with Sugar Check and the school of pharmacy! This is the second donation they have made to the clinic totaling over $10,000. Since its inception, Sugar Check Charity has donated over $110,000, and supplies to more than 30 free clinics in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.
