2012 Alert Day

Today is the 24th Annual American Diabetes Association Alert Day, this is held on the 4th Tuesday of every March! It is the day when every American is asked to take the diabetes risk test to find out if they are at risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes. The reason for this is that people are often diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes years after it has settled into their system, it is a disease that you can be walking around with for a long time before you even realize it. Unfortunately, if that happens the major symptoms have already developed and harmed the body. It's a disease but it is treatable.

Please follow this link to take the online test now:

It is fast (only a few simple questions), easy, and free!

In America there are 26 million adults and children with Type 2 Diabetes. Don't wait for it to be too late.
