Learn Your Risk of Developing Type-2 Diabetes

With nearly 26 million children and adults in American living with Type 2 Diabetes, and another 79 million at high risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes, the disease is taking a devastating physical, emotional and financial toll on our country.  Yet, most Americans don’t consider diabetes a serious matter. They feel it is someone else’s responsibility and someone else’s problem.

Recent numbers by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention paint a desperate situation of our current situation and, if deliberate action is not taken, the future statistics of Type 2 Diabetes.

•     Every 17 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes.

•     Diabetes kills more people each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined.

•     Recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes in 2050.
