New Survey Shows Majority of Americans Need to Take Proper Steps to Manage Diabetes Risk
Date:11/24/2008

"This study clearly demonstrates the need for greater education and awareness, especially among people who are at risk. When a person knows they are at risk, is tested and knows the appropriate actions to take, they are armed with the information they need to live a happier and healthier life," said Dana Haza, senior director, National Changing Diabetes Program.

"In working with our National Diabetes Goal partners to release this information and help create awareness about type 2 diabetes, we hope it will serve as a call to action for at-risk Americans to get tested and respond accordingly," said Martha Boudreau, president Mid-Atlantic, Fleishman-Hillard.
