| Hello Andrea, Whether you live with diabetes, have a loved one who does or simply want to raise awareness of the seriousness of prediabetes, American Diabetes Association Alert Day ® is a time to take action! Alert Day is Tuesday, March 22—a one-day "wake-up call" asking Americans to learn where they stand with prediabetes, a condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Here are three things you can do to help spread the word tomorrow:
1. Visit DoIHavePrediabetes.org. Take the one-minute risk test and encourage everyone you know to take it, too. A score of 5 or higher means you should talk to your doctor. And while you're on the website, watch these PSAs and share them to social media.
2. Lend your social media support! Sign up for our Thunderclap to help get our message out in a big way. On March 22 at 12 p.m. ET, a pre-written message encouraging your friends and followers to take the risk test at DoIHavePrediabetes.org will post to your social media. (Don't worry! Beyond this post, Thunderclap will not use your data or interfere with your accounts in any way.)
3. Tune in to or DVR The Dr. Oz Show on Tuesday, March 22, for a program about prediabetes and ways to lower your risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The show will feature our new prediabetes campaign in partnership with the American Medical Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ad Council. Be sure to check your local listings!
We can't waste any time. An estimated 86 million Americans—that's one in three adults—have prediabetes, and nearly 90 percent of them don't know it. The good news is that prediabetes can be easy to diagnose and can be reversed with diet and exercise.
Take the Diabetes Risk Test and share it with everyone you care about.
With your help, we will Stop Diabetes®!
