2018 Alert Day Kentucky

Start Date:
Tuesday, March 27, 2018
End Date:
Tuesday, March 27, 2018
Location:
American Diabetes Association

The American Diabetes Association and Passport Health Plan are teaming up to share important information with Kentuckians to help prevent and manage diabetes.  Currently, more than 550,000 people in Kentucky, or 15.3% of the adult population, have diabetes.  Of these, an estimated 108,000 have diabetes and don’t know it, greatly increasing their health risk.  Additionally, more than a million Kentuckians have prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes.  Through the partnership of Passport Health Plan and the Association, we plan to provide vital diabetes resources and support to adults and children across the state.  To reach the American Diabetes Association state office, please contact Kirsten Rowland at krowland@diabetes.org or 859-268-9129.

American Diabetes Association Alert Day

Are you or your loved ones at risk for developing diabetes? The American Diabetes Association is asking all Kentuckians to take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test in honor of the Association's annual Alert Day set for March 26, 2019. Alert Day is a day to sound the alarm about the prevalence of type 2 diabetes across Kentucky and our country. Take the free anonymous online Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test here.

If you have prediabetes or other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, now is the time to take charge of your health.  To find a PreventT2 (Diabetes Prevention Program) in your community, click here to view the Kentucky Diabetes Resource Directory.
