Hugo and the New Orleans Hornets' Honeybees recently visited Ochsner Medical Center on the West Bank to raise diabetes awareness through the 2013 Dribble to Stop Diabetes Initiative. The Hornets partnered with the American Diabetes Association, Sanofi U.S. and Ochsner Health System to host a support group that provided attendees with information on how to prevent and take control of the disease. Ann Moll, hospital education manager for Ochsner Medical Center and site coordinator for the Diabetes Management Center, said activities such as these are beneficial to participants. “It’s important, because it energizes people and it allows them to review important information,” she said. “They might fall off of their schedule with their diet and this gives them that little nudge to get back on track and know that it’s OK, because nobody is perfect 100 percent of the time.”

Diabetes – and a sensible intake of fast food – were on Iguodala’s mind Monday in his role as an NBA ambassador for “Dribble to Stop Diabetes.” Along with Indiana’s Danny Granger and WNBA star Tamika Catchings, Iguodala is working with the American Diabetes Association and pharmaceutical company Sanofi US on an awareness campaign.
