Diabetes Alert Day with GHUCCTS in the (Virtual) Community

American Diabetes Association Diabetes Alert Day is March 23rd and observed on the fourth Tuesday in March every year.  It’s used as a one-day, “wake-up call” asking the American public to take the Diabetes Risk Test to find out if they are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science (GHUCCTS) invites you to attend ‘GHUCCTS in the (Virtual) Community’ on Tuesday, March 23rd from 6-7pm. GHUCCTS in the Virtual Community aims to promote clinical research awareness, diversity in research, and community-engaged research through virtual outreach efforts that will be held monthly.

Join GHUCCTS on Diabetes Alert Day to focus on the seriousness of diabetes and to talk about research to assess if monitoring glucose levels with a continuous glucose monitor may be helpful. Take part in discussing a research study that may help us find out if this is true. If you are interested in learning how research studies can help us find answers and what questions you should ask before joining a research study, register today.


Guest Speakers include our very own Jean Park, MD, Endocrinologist, Diabetes and Metabolism Specialist at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital and Carine Nassar, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Care and Education Specialist who serves as a Program Director at the MedStar Diabetes Institute in Washington, DC. Also, Joe Verbalis, MD, is the Professor of Medicine, Chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Georgetown University.
