Are you at risk?

I know this is not my normal week to post, but this is too good to pass up. Click the link below to find out if you are at risk for Type 2 Diabetes:

Today is the 25th Annual American Diabetes Association Alert Day®. Encourage your family and friends to find out if they are at risk for type 2 diabetes by answering a few simple questions. For every Diabetes Risk Test taken, Boar’s Head®—a leading provider of premium delicatessen products—will donate $5 to the American Diabetes Association starting March 26 through April 9, 2013, up to $50,000. Because 25 percent of Americans with type 2 diabetes don’t even know they have it, we can’t waste any time. Please help us spread the word and share the Diabetes Risk Test with everyone you care about. Someone you love may be at risk and you can help!
