Do you know if you’re at risk for developing type 2 diabetes? Studies have shown that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by losing just 5-7% of body weight through regular physical activity and healthy eating. However, 57 million Americans currently have pre-diabetes. That’s one in every five people! Pre-diabetes places you at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and, if current trends continue, one out of three children born today will face a future with diabetes.
On March 23, the American Diabetes Association will be encouraging people to join the Stop Diabetes movement by taking the Diabetes Risk Test. You’ll find the risk test, healthy lifestyle tips and more at stopdiabetes.com.
