Diabetes rising in Franklin County adults amid risk factors
Franklin County adults show 8.8 percent diagnosed with diabetes, slightly above Kansas’ 8.5 percent. Health officials cite overweight and obesity, high blood pressure, inactivity, and poor diet as drivers while promoting blood sugar checks and daily exercise. Local programs seek partners to improve access to healthy foods and education at Ottawa High and the Franklin County Health Department.
