Alert Day

Tomorrow is the 26th annual Diabetes Alert Day. Type 2 diabetes is on the rise in some sections of the population. African Americans, Latino and Hispanic Americans, Native Americans and people with a family history of the disease are at greater risk of developing the disease. Go to your doctor and get a finger stick and have your blood tested tomorrow. It will be the best five minutes that you can spend in a doctor's office.
