| Take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test |
We’re welcoming in week two of The Big Step Up, and we’re focusing on early detection of diabetes to prevent complications.
Living with diabetes is hard enough, but often with diabetes comes related complications in your vision, hands, feet, kidneys, and heart.
Here are the stats: |
| • |
Every 80 seconds, an adult with diabetes is hospitalized for heart disease |
| • |
56 people with diabetes undergo amputation each day |
| • |
159 people with diabetes develop end-stage kidney disease each day |
| • |
Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults |
|
Early detection of diabetes is proven to prevent life‑altering complications. You—and your loved ones—will be thankful you took the first step in understanding your risk.
