Take 1 Minute to Know Your Risk for Type 2 Diabetes: Diabetes Alert Day | March 27

 

 Did you know that as part of your CalPERS health plan you have access to a Diabetes Prevention Program?  Great news, right? But here’s the catch: 90% of people with prediabetes don’t know they have it.

That’s why we are joining the American Diabetes Association in recognizing Diabetes Alert Day on March 27—a movement that challenges everyone to take a quick survey to assess their risk of type 2 diabetes. 

Follow your health plan’s link below to take the screener today to determine if you are at risk.  If you meet the risk criteria, you will be invited to apply for a Diabetes Prevention Program offered at no charge to you and your adult dependents as part of your CalPERS health plan benefits. 

Don’t hit the “snooze” on Diabetes Alert Day, instead click the link above to answer this wake-up call to find out your risk today.

Join us in the movement to raise awareness and reduce the risk of diabetes.
