According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), there are 20.8 million people in the U.S. with diabetes, but nearly one-third of them (or 6.2 million Americans) don’t know it. In order to alert all Americans to their potential risk for diabetes, the ADA is sponsoring American Diabetes Alert® Day on March 25, 2008. They have even posted a short, easy on-line Risk Test to calculate your personal risk for the disease.
This year marks the 20th American Diabetes Alert. Held annually on the fourth Tuesday of March, its goal is to raise awareness about the seriousness of diabetes and to help people find out if they are at risk.
