Do you know if you are at risk for having diabetes or pre-diabetes?

It is estimated that 1 out of 3 adults have pre-diabetes and 90% of them don't even know that they have it! Pre-diabetes, if not treated, can lead to diabetes. The best treatment for pre-diabetes is losing a little weight if overweight and getting active at least 30 minutes most days of the week.

View: CDC Infographic on pre-diabetes - then, take this: 7-Question Quiz

to see if you are at high risk for having pre-diabetes.

If you score over 9, be sure to ask your provider/doctor for a diabetes test!!
