March is National Kidney Month!

In honor of National Kidney Month, the National Kidney Foundation's (NKF) national public awareness campaign, "Are You the 33%?” enters a new phase focusing on the connection between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). NKF urges everyone to find out if they’re the 1 in 3 at risk for developing kidney disease by taking a one-minute quiz at MinuteForYourKidneys.org.

Diabetes is a leading risk factor for developing kidney disease. Over time, having high blood sugar from diabetes can cause damage inside your kidneys. But it doesn’t have to end up this way; because with careful control of glucose (sugar) levels, there is evidence that you can prevent kidney disease in people with diabetes.

Join the @GammaPiQues for an information filled webinar regarding kidney health.

We have partnered with the National Kidney Foundation to bring this webinar to the Prince George’s County community.
