It's Alert Day! Are You At Risk? Find Out!

I'm pre-empting my usual weekly blog post in order to share the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Risk Test. Type 2 diabetes isn't just a professional interest; my husband was diagnosed with type 2 in our first year of marriage. I can assure you, reducing your risk of developing type 2 is considerably less challenging than managing diabetes!

So, I strongly encourage you to take the Diabetes Risk Test to see how you fare. Then share the link with others so they can take the Test, too. Just click here!

There's never a bad day to find out if you're at risk for type 2, but today's an especially good day: It's the 24th Annual American Diabetes Association Alert Day. For every person that takes the Risk Test, Boar's Head (R) will donate $5 to the American Diabetes Association, up to $50,000. So please, take the Risk Test today, and share it with everyone you know.


I'll be back next week, and we'll talk about how to use tangible, non-food rewards to help you reach your SMART weight management goals...and happily, those goals will also help you reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes. So stay tuned!

In the meantime, please take the Diabetes Risk Test and let us know what you think of it. I tested as "lower risk," but the test didn't consider several factors that place me at higher risk. What say you?
