National Diabetes Month

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and Iowa State’s Student Health Center will be conducting free diabetes screenings weekdays through Nov. 21.

Hours for the screenings are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in room 2015 at the Wellness Center in the new health building.

The screenings are “pen-and-pencil” tests, self-surveys which measure various risk factors for diabetes.

If these preliminary test indicate a level of risk, more tests, which are also free, will be offered to the patient.

All screenings are available only to ISU students.
