DO YOU?

Take The Risk Test

WAIT, SO WHAT IS PREDIABETES?

Prediabetes means a person’s blood glucose (sugar) level is higher

than normal, but not high enough yet for a diagnosis of type 2

diabetes. If left untreated, prediabetes can progress into type 2

diabetes. And if 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, that means it

could be you, your favorite sibling, or your _other_ sibling. Or you,

your barber, your barber’s barber. Or you—well, you get the

picture. It’s time to take the risk test to know where you stand.
