Diabetes Risk Test
Could you have diabetes and not know it?
There are 25.8 million children and adults in the U.S. with diabetes – and nearly one-third of them (or 7 million people) do not know!
If you belong to one of these ethnic groups, you need to pay close attention to your health, since diabetes is more common in:
-
African Americans
-
Hispanics/Latinos
-
Native Americans
-
Asian Americans
-
Pacific Islanders
Take this test to find out if you are at risk of having or developing type 2 diabetes.
