Divabetic’s newest outreach program, Clued Inn combines the fun and excitement of ‘Escape Room’ game challenges with personalized group discussions about diabetes and heart health lead by certified diabetes educators in New York City on Diabetes Alert Day, Tuesday, March 26, 2019.

According to a 2016 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 30.3 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, but nearly a quarter of them (7.2 million) are undiagnosed. 

The CDC also notes that people with type 2 diabetes face twice the risk of heart disease and stroke. Clued Inn is an innovative, fun approach, to reach people at risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease before they experience health-related complications. The problem-solving skills and collaborative team effort needed to escape the room are essential behaviors for successfully managing type 2 diabetes health to avoid stroke, and heart disease. 

Clued Inn’s online room reservations process includes screening for type 2 diabetes and/or heart health quiz. The program is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.
