Help Spread the Word About Prediabetes Today!

Tuesday, March 22, is American Diabetes Association Alert Day®, a “wake-up call” asking Americans to find out if they are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Please support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Diabetes Association, American Medical Association, and Ad Council in raising awareness about prediabetes, a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes.

Join our Thunderclap (this short video explains how it works; you can sign up here) through your organization’s social media pages (and your personal pages, if you’d like) to share the quick and easy prediabetes risk test. Everyone who signs up helps amplify our reach!

Spreading the word is simple. Click on the Facebook, Twitter, and Assets links athttp://socialmediakit.adcouncil.org/presskit/prediabetes/ to access customizable messages and graphics available for your use. Please ask your local partners to use them for their channels too.

You may have heard the stats – 86 million American adults have prediabetes, but 90% of them don’t know they have it. Let’s reach out and empower people to find out their risk and make healthy changes if needed.

Your help in this effort is truly appreciated!
