Other opportunities:

• Pre-diabetes class
• Annual diabetes update for community members;

• Continuing education for health care professionals.

Are you concerned you may have diabetes, but you're not certain?

Many Americans have diabetes but don't realize it partly because symptoms are not always obvious at first. Talk to your doctor about having a lab test that will help find out your status. You may also find it helpful to take an interactive risk test at the American Diabetes Association's web site.

Here is information that will help you:

• Risk factors
• Commonly asked questions
