If you’ve ever wondered about your risk for diabetes, you can find out this month.
In observance of the American Diabetes Association’s National Alert! Day, Baptist team members are invited to take a simple diabetes risk assessment quiz in the locations, dates and times listed below. HumanaVitality members can earn 35 points by participating.
Being overweight is the single most important risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. The good news is, you can prevent or delay diabetes by losing just 5 to 7 percent of your body weight through increased physical activity and cutting calories (choosing good carbs and heart-healthy fats).
Take a few moments to complete an assessment at the following locations and dates. It can be the first step in finding your own answers to better health.
