DERBY - The Diabetes Education & Support Group at Griffin Hospital will host two free talks about risk factors for stroke in those with diabetes, stroke warning signs, prevention, and how to take action at 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. May 10.
The hospital is at 130 Division St.
Diabetes is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including stroke. According to the National Stroke Association, stroke is the third leading cause of death and a major cause of serious, long-term disability.
This presentation will teach the importance of acting “F.A.S.T.” in the event of a stroke.
Both presentations will be held in the hospital’s Childbirth Classroom B. Free valet parking is available for the 2:30 p.m. session.
The Diabetes Education & Support Group meets September - June on the second Tuesday of each month to discuss the management of diabetes, its challenges and day-to-day dietary concerns.
Anyone with diabetes and their families are welcome to attend.
No registration is required.
