It's time for a diabetes wake-up call. Take the Diabetes Risk Test to learn if you are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Check Yourself To Stop The Growing Rate Of Type 2

Millions of Americans have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but with the disease on the rise, even among children, it’s very possible that millions more are afraid to find out1.

To raise awareness, American Diabetes Association Alert Day is observed on the fourth Tuesday in March, every year2.

American Diabetes Association Alert Day is a one-day “wake-up call” from the American Diabetes Association, asking Americans to take the Diabetes Risk Test3 to determine if they are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

But why are we limiting increased awareness to just one day? Knowledge is power, all year round.

Sign the pledge to assess your risk for diabetes and take steps to prevent the onset of the disease.
