Hy-Vee offers free A1C screenings
Hy-Vee will provide 1,500 free A1C screenings in April at more than 100 Hy-Vee stores throughout the Midwest.
This simple blood test measures average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. This is a common test used to identify prediabetes or diabetes.
Registration is required for the free A1C screening and can be done online. Once registered, a local Hy-Vee dietitian will reach out to schedule a screening based on availability.
