American Diabetes Association (ADA) Alert Day is March 27. Managing diabetes is possible and no cost management education is available!
Type II diabetes can be a serious illness where the body has trouble making or using insulin. The ADA encourages people to take the online Diabetes Risk Test which asks 7 questions about your family and personal health, and provides you with a risk assessment from 0-10.
