On Tuesday, August 18, West Florida Healthcare will offer a free seminar entitled “Diabetes Medications Update.” The seminar will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. in the 7th Floor Auditorium at WestFloridaHospital, 8383 N. Davis Highway, Pensacola. The featured speaker will be Vishnu Behari, M.D., Endocrinology.
Diabetes is a disease that causes the body to not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other foods into energy needed for daily life. In 2012, more than 29 million Americans, or 9.3 percent of the population, had diabetes. Join us for an informative discussion about managing diabetes with medications to improve outcomes and glucose control.
The seminar is free and open to the public. To register, call 494-3212.
