One in three American adults is at risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes, which is why Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale County Health Departments are partnering with Diabetes “You Can Win” Foundation to participate in American Diabetes Association Alert Day®.

On March 28 we encourage you to come to the Norcross Health & Human Services building located at 5030 Georgia Belle Court in Norcross from 9AM – 3PM to take a Risk Test and an A1C test to find out if you’re at risk. 

An estimated 86 million American adults have prediabetes, which means they have blood glucose (sugar) that’s higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes is reversible, and knowing your risk is the first step.

Please mark your calendar for American Diabetes Association Alert Day on March 28 and take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test.
