MONTROSE - Walgreens is offering free diabetes tests from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, and residents can thank Oprah Winfrey for that.

Her television show Thursday focused on diabetes awareness and inspired Walgreens stores around the country to offer free tests, said Rich Parr, manager of the Montrose drugstore.

“Oprah gave Walgreens the idea, but we’re also doing it because we care about protecting people’s health,” Parr said.
