Red Alert!
Most people are probably not aware that 25.8 million children and adults in the U.S. have diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), diabetes is one of the top ten leading causes of death. This disease is completely preventable with changes in everyday lifestyle; diet, physical activity and weight maintenance.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recognizes March 27th as Diabetes Awareness Day. This year they are encouraging you to take the diabetes risk test. For each risk test that is taken, Boar’s Head® will donate $5 to the American Diabetes Association from March 27 through April 27, 2012.
If you are interested in getting involved with community events in your area visits the ADA website. For more information on how to prevent diabetes, click here. This year choose to do something different; help prevent diabetes and raise awareness!
