The Center for Disease Control has put together some interesting little awareness quizzs that you can take to see if you’re at risk for certain diseases or health complications. Since diabetes is one of the health issues that is occurring more frequently in the US, and at a younger age, it might be a good idea to take this simple little quiz, and then act on what you learn!
This quiz reinforces that I need to shed some weight and get more exercise. Neither of those is especially easy, but both of them are in my control! I couldn’t help that my mom and brother were both diabetic, and I can’t help that I’m a lady of a certain age, but I can control my exercise, starting with my fork hand.
Since we’re going in to summer (when we should be able to exercise more freely outside, and also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables) I’m going to give it a try. When I was honest on the quiz, I scored a 17. Bad news! How about you?
