  • You could be one of the almost 6 million Americans who have it…and don’t even know it.
  • Another American is diagnosed every 20 seconds…and that could be you or someone you love.
  • Diabetes leads to heart attack, high blood pressure, kidney disease, blindness and amputation.
  • Your kids or grandchildren could be the one-out-of-three born since 2000 who will develop diabetes.
  • DIABETES IS DEADLY.
  • The more you know the healthier you’ll be
