21st Annual American Diabetes Alert Day – Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Diabetes Alert Day is a day for the American Diabetes Association to “Sound the Alert” about the dangers of diabetes and encourage people who are overweight, physically inactive, and over 45 years of age to get tested for diabetes.
Nearly 24 million adults and children in the United States have diabetes in the United States! Nearly 70% of diabetes cases in the U.S. are triggered by being overweight. This staggering number is the reason why everyone should be aware of this disease and aware of ways to eat healthier to prevent diabetes.
