- Find tumors early, before they grow or spread
- Allow for treatments that are easier and more effective
- Give you peace of mind when everything looks normal
Even if you feel healthy and have no family history of breast cancer, screenings are still important. Routine screening is recommended every 1–2 years for most women aged 40 to 74. Your provider may recommend a different schedule based on your personal health needs.
To earn this reward:
- Schedule and complete a breast cancer screening at a participating provider or imaging center.

Take Care of Your Eyes While Managing Diabetes

Why is this healthy activity important?
Diabetes and high blood sugar can cause serious eye problems. Getting regular eye exams can help protect your vision. During the exam, the eye doctor will make your pupils bigger and use a special camera to check the back of your eyes for damage.
Regular eye exams can help you:
- Spot problems early
- Keep track of existing eye conditions

Even if your vision seems fine, it’s still important to get your eyes checked. Eye damage from diabetes can happen without any warning signs, and a diabetic eye exam is the only way to catch it early.

- Find problems before they get serious
