Diabetes, Get Tested
All teens who are overweight, eat too much sugar, or have diabetes in their family should get a test for diabetes. The test is simple, doesn't hurt, and if cost is an issue, many community clinics and even health fairs may offer testing for free or at very low cost.  

 

Why do we want you to know about diabetes? Because teenagers can get diabetes and in fact, the number of teens with diabetes has been steadily rising.
 

This is a very serious problem because depending on the kind of diabetes and how bad it is, a teen can become blind, have kidney disease, heart problems, high blood pressure, depression, and have problems if pregnant.


The number of teens having diabetes is going up for the same reason it is increasing in adults. Being overweight, not eating healthy and not exercising enough are the most common reasons for getting diabetes.

The good news? Diabetes can be prevented! And even if someone has it, the person can live a long healthy and happy life if a good health program is followed. Read about Teen Tips for Oral Hygiene
