Why Should You Ask.Screen.Know.?
Because nearly 1 out of 12 Americans has diabetes. Because many people have it, but don't know it. Because every 17 seconds, someone new is diagnosed with diabetes. And because if you catch it early with a diabetes screening, the complications can be prevented or delayed. If you're 45 or older, take a minute and talk to your healthcare professional about getting screened for diabetes.

Ask.Screen.Know. is a national program dedicated to increasing awareness of the benefits of early diabetes screening and detection.
