Robert Rizza Risk Quotations

It's important that anyone with risk factors such as being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, being over the age of 45, or leading an inactive lifestyle, take action. We'd like to encourage people to take the Risk Test at their local Rite Aid pharmacy, and if they score high, talk to their doctor about their results at their next visit. It's a simple, seven-question assessment that could save your life.

Diabetes is a serious disease, and its complications can be devastating. The good news is that with early detection and treatment, those complications -- as well as the disease itself -- can be prevented or delayed. The American Diabetes Association hopes that this Alert Day will encourage millions of Americans to find out if they could be at risk for diabetes or could be living with the disease and not know it.
