The American Diabetes Associates has enacted a day to educate American about Diabetes every year. March 24th stands to be the American Diabetes Alert Day. This day is to be a wake-up call to Americans and to inform them of the dangers of the disease. As type one diabetes is known as juvenile diabetes because it is a disease you are more commonly born with, the day of alert is for all types of diabetes. The major concern in America is for obesity and type two diabetes.
This day of recognition and awareness is the 21st annual alert day for America. Currently over 23.6 million children and adults are living with diabetes. Nearly one-fourth of those with diabetes do not know they have at risk or are living with the disease.
Those who are most at risk for diabetes are those with genetic onset, obesity, certain ethnicities and those over the age of 45 years-old.
