Free blood sugar tests at MediRite
test your blood sugar in support of World Diabetes Day.
All MediRite pharmacies in Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets will offer free blood sugar today and tomorrow in support of World Diabetes Day, which is celebrated on November 14.
According to Razana Allie, a diabetes nurse specialist with Diabetes South Africa, a blood sugar test measures the amount of glucose in one’s blood.
“Glucose is a major source of energy for the body. Carbohydrates, found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta and rice, are quickly turned into glucose, and can lead to increased blood sugar levels.”
During this period, MediRite’s qualified pharmacists will attend to any consumers who wish to have their blood sugar levels tested, free-of-charge.
