In-club screenings available to the public on Saturday, September 12 include glucose and A1C tests to measure blood sugar levels
In the United States, nearly 28 percent of adults with diabetes don’t know that they have it. In addition, 90 percent of adults with prediabetes, a condition that increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, also remain undiagnosed.1
To encourage greater detection of these conditions, Sam’s Club is hosting free diabetes health screenings for both members and the public. These screenings also aim to help diagnosed diabetics assess their control of the condition.
This is the fifth year that Sam’s Club is offering these free diabetes health screenings, as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to the health and wellness of the communities that it serves.

In addition to monthly health screenings, Sam’s Club pharmacies provide savings and preventive care to each community they serve, such as year-round immunizations for children and adults.* Licensed pharmacists can administer walk-in flu shots and nine other important immunizations, including the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. Eligible Sam’s Club Plus members can also save even more on prescriptions, including exclusive discounts on select generic prescriptions, some of which are available free of charge or at a discounted cost of $4 or $10 for a 30-day supply. This benefit is part of the Sam’s Club Extra Value Drug List, through which Sam’s Club Plus members also receive 10-30 percent savings on select brand name medications. To learn more about these savings and immunizations offered, please visit SamsClub.com.
