Hey, my Tu Diabetes friends...my girlfriend has Type 1 diabetes, so I just started a campaign called 'Run To Stop Diabetes'. Visit www.RunToStopDiabetes.com for more info on the campaign & let me know what you think!! We're running the 2011 ING NYC Marathon to raise money & awareness for diabetes.

The CDC posted their updated diabetes facts this week. Here are some highlights from it:

- There are 23.6 million Americans with diabetes, and 57 million Americans with pre-diabetes

- The total prevalence of diabetes increased 13.5% from 2005 to 2007

- 24% of diabetes is undiagnosed, down from 30% in 2005 and from 50% ten years ago

- Over 10% of American adults have diabetes

- Nearly a quarter of Americans age 60 and older have diabetes (23.1%)

Both of the business card and the business magnet have TuDiabetes.com imprinted on them. It is something small but it will get noticed and make a difference. Any one can do it.
