Free A1C Tests with Blood Donation in March

0:00It's March 2nd, here's your Birmingham news in two minutes. The American Red Cross is giving free A1C tests to anyone who donates blood all through March. This simple check can spot prediabetes or diabetes early, and it's available at blood drives across the country. New numbers from the Red Cross reveal that one in five blood donors already shows high A1C levels. Even more shocking, millions of Americans don't realize they have these elevated readings hiding in plain sight. These conditions pack a serious punch if ignored, raising the risk of strokes, heart disease, and kidney failure. That's why catching them matters so much for long term health. The Centers for Disease Control urges testing for everyone over age 45, or sooner if you're overweight or have family history and other risks. The good news is, prediabetes can often be turned around with smarter eating and regular movement. This offer runs until March 31st, so head to redcrossblood.org to book your spot and give blood while checking your levels. This episode is supported by our sponsor, C Details in the description.
