RediClinic LLC announced today that it is teaming up with BIOSAFE Laboratories, Inc. and Glycemion, Inc.to provide free diabetes screenings to school age children in the greater
Richmond, Va. area to help identify diabetic and pre-diabetic children and
adolescents. Beginning May 1, 2008 and continuing through May 31, 2008, the
diabetes screenings will be available free of charge at any of the nine
RediClinic facilities located in Wal-Mart Supercenters in the Richmond
area. No appointments are necessary.

    Parents are encouraged to bring their children in for the free
screening if they recognize any of the seven most common symptoms of
diabetes in their children: frequent urination, excessive thirst, extreme
hunger, sudden weight loss, increased fatigue, blurred vision or if the
child is overweight.

    "Diabetes is a debilitating and life-shortening disease whose most
serious complications can often be effectively treated with early
detection. We hope that making this test available to school age children
will result in earlier diagnosis of undiagnosed diabetes and pre-diabetes,
and help to mitigate complications later in life. Awareness at an early age
is key," said Carolyn Galloway, MD, chief medical officer of RediClinic
LLC.

    The BIOSAFE Diabetes Risk Assessment is a two-part process comprised of
an immediate fasting glucose reading and a mail-in laboratory analysis for
hemoglobin A1c, a blood glucose marker for the previous 90-day period.
Samples for both tests are collected through a simple finger-stick
collection kit. Taken in combination, these two results are a reliable
indicator of diabetes or a pre-diabetes condition.

    For best results, a child should fast for 12 hours before having the
screening administered. The instant glucose results will be available a few
minutes after the test is administered. If the glucose result is elevated,
the blood sample will be sent to a lab for further analysis and the results
of the BIOSAFE Diabetes Risk Assessment will be shared with parents
approximately two weeks after the clinic visit. As part of the process,
RediClinic clinicians will educate patients about diabetes, and refer
patients to their medical home or an appropriate provider for follow-on
care.

    "Despite decades of medical advances for the treatment of diabetes,
millions of people remain undiagnosed or at risk for the disease. We are
confident that those who are identified as being in a pre-diabetic state
will work with their physicians, school nurses and diabetes educators to
implement dietary and healthy lifestyle changes to avoid the onset of
diabetes and its catastrophic complications, such as heart disease,
blindness and kidney failure," said Jack Maggiore, Ph.D., president of
BIOSAFE Laboratories.

    Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes) affects more than 20
million Americans and is the most common form of the disease. However,
because diabetes exhibits few, if any, symptoms until its advanced stages,
millions more are unaware that they are in danger of developing the
disease. When blood glucose (sugar) levels are higher than normal, but not
yet high enough to be classified as diabetes, a condition known as
pre-diabetes exists. If discovered early, a person with pre-diabetes can
avoid the disease through education, diet, exercise and appropriately
prescribed medications.

    Glycemion, Inc. is participating in the program by marketing and
distributing the BIOSAFE Diabetes Risk Assessment kits in the United
States.

    Funding for this program is being provided, in part, by the National
Center for Public Research (N.C.P.R.). The N.C.P.R., in partnership with
the Mari Gallagher Research & Consulting Group, has conducted extensive
research on the identification of and solution to the Food Desert and its
link to diabetes. A Food Desert is a reference to a large or isolated
geographical area with limited, or no, access to mainstream grocery stores.

    "This is a wonderful example of direct action being taken by business
and science in response to our research. Most importantly, children and the
communities they live in will benefit greatly from this effort," said Mari
Gallagher, president of N.C.P.R. and Mari Gallagher Research & Consulting
Group.

    RediClinic locations are in-store healthcare facilities that offer
consumers easy access to high-quality, routine health services at
affordable prices. They are staffed by certified nurse practitioners and
other clinicians who work with local physicians to diagnose, treat and
prescribe medications for common conditions, such as earaches, strep throat
and upper respiratory infections. RediClinic patients can also benefit from
a wide range of preventive services, including health screenings, flu shots
and other vaccinations, and back-to-school physical exams.

    RediClinic locations are open seven days a week (including most
holidays) and offer extended hours on weekdays. Adults and children over
age two are welcome, no appointments are necessary, and a typical visit
takes about 15 minutes.

    RediClinic visits are covered by the four largest commercial health
insurance carriers -- Aetna, CIGNA, Humana and UnitedHealthcare -- as well
as by Medicare and a growing number of regional carriers, such as Southern
Health in Virginia. Those who are covered by health plans that do not
currently have agreements with RediClinic receive specially-formatted
receipts that can be filed for possible reimbursement.
