YMCA luncheon will inform seniors about risks of diabetes

A recent study by the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that 22 percent of senior citizens aged 65 and older have diabetes and nearly 40 percent suffer with a form of pre-diabetes called impaired fasting glucose, which becomes more common with age. About 2.8 percent of U.S. adults - one-third of those with diabetes - still don’t know they have it.
