Andrea, I am writing to thank you for your support – your contributions make a difference for people like Jim Saunders.
Like many busy people, Jim Saunders almost never went to the doctor unless it was a health crisis. And yet, he let his health decline over a five-year period. By the time he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Jim was at stage 5 kidney failure and had high blood pressure. He was experiencing periodic loss of control of his leg muscles, and nerves in his feet were going "absolutely haywire," to the point where he was not able to work. Despite his delayed diabetes diagnosis, Jim's story is an inspiring one, and we look forward to sharing more with you about how Jim turned his life around.
Even though Jim knew he was at risk for developing diabetes given his family history, things got dire before he got help. Jim is not alone, it's estimated that 7.2 million Americans are living with undiagnosed diabetes right now. Many more do not realize they are at risk for developing diabetes - 90% of people with prediabetes do not know they have it. Your financial support helps raise awareness, and encourages people around the country to take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test and take control of their health. Getting an early diagnosis of prediabetes and knowing the risks can literally save lives, allowing people to make changes to lifestyle and diet that could delay or, in some cases, even prevent diagnosis altogether. Your support is crucial to our ability to educate people—one of the most effective tools in preventing diabetes.
