The American Diabetes Association (ADA) Diabetes Alert Day is always the 4th Tuesday in March. This year the ADA is urging Americans to use this event as a wake up call to take the Diabetes Risk Test. This started March 22, 2011 and will last until April 22, 2011. They are encouraging 1 million people to take the Diabetes Risk Test to see if they are at low, moderate or high risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
