Pre-diabetes is a silent condition, with one in three people unaware that they have it.
Left unmanaged, this can lead to serious health issues.
If you have a family history of diabetes, the National Institute of Integrative Medicine is holding a special event where we will share important information; provide a free blood sugar test; and present the opportunity to participate in a study to determine the effectiveness of a herbal formula.

- Q & A session with panel Dr Lee, AProf Ried & Nikolaj Travica
- Free blood sugar testing
