American Diabetes Association Alert Day^®

Did you know 25% of Americans who have type 2 diabetes don’t even know it? Could you or someone you know be one of them? March 27, 2012, is American Diabetes Association Alert Day^®. We’re calling on everyone to take the Diabetes Risk Test and share it with everyone you know. For every Diabetes Risk Test taken, Boar’s Head®—manufacturer of premium delicatessen products—will donate $5 to the American Diabetes Association starting March 27 through April 27, 2012 up to $50,000. Knowledge is the first step in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes.

The Association Works with Other Organizations to Increase Awareness Last September, the UN General Assembly (GA) held a High-level Meeting on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs), a historic opportunity to put NCDs—including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory diseases—on the global health agenda. We have partnered with the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association. Through our advocacy efforts, we are providing key policy and media stakeholders with resources that highlight the global burden of NCDs and the need for coordinated interventions, technical assistance and support to inform policy discussions and access to vetted global NCD experts who can address the growing NCD burden.
