What? Count My Tortillas!
-Controlling Diabetes: A family effort-
BACKGROUND: If you live in San Antonio, you know that tortillas are a popular food. Unfortunately for diabetics, tortillas like other foods high in carbohydrates must be eaten in moderation. Currently, an estimated 240,000 people in Bexar County are living with diabetes. Sadly, another 68 thousand adults and children have the disease but don’t know it. So, what better way to educate and raise awareness than with a play about the disease? This Monday, the community is invited to see two light-hearted, fun and educational theatre acts entitled, “What? Count My Tortillas” and “Controlling Diabetes: A Family Effort.” Various local organizations, including University Health System, Mujeres Unidas Contra el SIDA, National Latina Health Network, and Hoy y Adelante Mujeres Campaign, have teamed up to “act” out for diabetes awareness, in hopes of educating our community about a disease attacking thousands each year. This event is FREE and open to the public.
