Diabetes Alert Day: Are You At Risk?

When it comes to diabetes, your best bet is to know your risk. Ask your doctor what you can do to prevent it.

It’s Diabetes Alert Day. A chance to check in with our bodies and talk about a major health crisis that affects millions of Americans each year — many of whom are unaware that they have undiagnosed pre diabetes or diabetes. This one-day wake-up call brings light to the seriousness of the disease. For one thinkThin dad, today is about more than awareness, it’s about taking action and making a commitment to improving your health. Read Christian’s inspiring success story on how he lost nearly 100 pounds after finding out he was pre-diabetic.

What are the symptoms? The American Diabetes Association has created a helpful tool to help you assess your risk. Take the Diabetes Risk Test to find out if you or your family are at risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes.

Join us in celebrating Diabetes Alert Day to emphasize the importance of knowing your risk and committing to a healthy lifestyle. At thinkThin, we want to help you take charge of your health.
