cause serious health problems, including heart disease and stroke, nerve
damage, and kidney disease. Are you at increased risk?

Day®, a one-day wake-up call to share the seriousness of type 2 diabetes.
Evaluate your risk for developing type 2 diabetes and learn how you can
help prevent it with information from the NIDDK and the National Diabetes
