One of our regular customers, Priya, is the coordinator for the Brooklyn Diabetes Task Force.  She’s been talking to me about their Annual Walk for Health & I wanted to share the information with you…

As you may already know from recent news coverage, Diabetes & Obesity are epidemic in the US.  Brooklyn has one of the highest incidences of diabetes in the New York City with statistics from participating Brooklyn Diabetes Task Force (BDTF) organizations revealing that one in three residents screened in Central Brooklyn has diabetes.

The BDTF is committed to raising awareness about diabetes prevention and management through its Annual Diabetes Walk for Health as well as sharing information about the risks for diabetes, how it can be prevented & the management options available to people with diabetes.

The Annual Diabetes Walk for Health takes place on Saturday, August 15th is free of charge & is open to anyone who’d like to walk…
