Review for All About Women, Nashville, TN, USA
I went to the All About Women event last year, thinking that I was a very healthy 54-year-old woman. I decided to take advantage of all the free tests that Vanderbilt Medical Center was offering since my cousin had been diagnosed with osteoporosis. The good news was that all of the tests were good, except that my blood sugar was through the roof at 490! I couldn't believe it - and neither could they since I felt fine. They said I could have easily gone into a diabetic coma and immediately got me signed up at the Vanderbilt Eskind Diabetes Center where I was officially diagnosed with type 1 diabetes! I don't think I would have gone in for blood sugar testing, as I felt good and no one in my family has had diabetes. So the All About Women event saved my life! It's a wonderful event that I will forever be grateful of!
