Here's Your Wake-Up Call Uinta Basin!

Diabetes is a serious disease.  The American Diabetes Association Alert Day is March 22nd, 2011.  Join the movement to stop diabetes.  Visit stopdiabetes.com, join the Stop Diabetes movement, take the Diabetes Risk Test and learn secrets to stop diabetes. Find out if you or your loved ones are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.    

Currently, 23.6 million Americans are living with diabetes and an additional 57 million, or one in five, are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The Tri-County area of Uintah, Daggett and Duchesne counties has the highest occurrence of diabetes in the state of Utah. For many, diagnosis may come seven to ten years after the onset of the disease. Therefore, early diagnosis is critical to successful treatment and delaying or preventing some of its complications such as heart disease, blindness, kidney disease, stroke, amputation and death.

Studies have shown that type 2 diabetes can be delayed and even prevented by making simple changes in your lifestyle. Knowing your risk for type 2 diabetes is the first step to a healthier lifestyle.

Ask the health care experts at ARMC or UBMC for help today or visit stopdiabetes.com and join the movement
