We are looking for volunteers to participate in a study that is testing a new Canadian Diabetes Screening tool. You may have already been approached by a staff member regarding this project, but if you haven't, this could be your opportunity to make an easy $20.00.Jaime (one of the staff) has been franticly recruiting people to participate in this study. If you are interested please talk to her.
Do you qualify for the study?
- Have to be between the ages of 40 and 74 years
- NOT diabetic already
- NOT pregnant
There are two ways to participate
1. Screening events are being held once a month. They are currently only at the field house but we are planning to expand to Shaw sometime in the near future. Your blood test will be done at this time and you will also receive education on nutrition, physical activity, and action planning. Posters and sign-up sheets will be found on the exercise log tables
2. If you would rather do the blood test on your own time, a lab requisition form can be obtained from Jaime. Before receiving the requisition, a meeting will need to be scheduled to complete the screening tool. After this is completed, a trip to the lab can be completed at your earliest convenience
If there are any questions or concerns, please talk to Jaime during the cardiac program or call 655-4804
