•The Diabetes Club of Fox Valley will be marching in the annual Fourth of July parade, and will set up our tent at the Stolp Avenue Block Party, Friday, Aug. 2, in downtown Aurora.

•The members of the Diabetes Club of Fox Valley work together to provide diabetes awareness in the Fox Valley area, while raising funds to provide aid, education, and research to find a cure for diabetes. Uncontrolled blood sugar (glucose) can cause vision problems, heart problems, nerve damage, dental problems, kidney damage, and more! Diet and exercise are two of the most powerful tools we have to help control our blood glucose. Eat healthy, stay active, and have a yearly blood test, to stay diabetes-free!
