Diabetes is a deadly illness that strikes nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States.  An additional 79 million, or one in three American adults, have prediabetes, a precursor to the development of type 2 diabetes.

This disease often goes undiagnosed and has been called a “Silent Killer.” People can exhibit noticeable symptoms such as frequent urination, blurred vision, excessive thirst, itchy skin and numbness or tingling in feet. Most individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes do not show these overt warning signs at the time that they develop the disease.

Take KeyVive’s Diabetes Risk Test today! The test shows users whether they are at low, moderate or high risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

If an individual is at high risk, he or she is encouraged to talk to their health provider and we will send a complimentary wellness kit, free and no strings attached, to provide more information and steps to prevention.

Don’t wait! Get tested today!

Team Type 1 began in 2005 with the belief that anything is possible. But many of the 24 million Americans living with diabetes have been told the opposite their entire lives. Each member of Team Type 1, however, is convinced this is wrong.

When Joe Eldridge and Phil Southerland started Team Type 1, they wanted to inspire people living with diabetes to achieve their dreams. Joe and Phil’s dream was to do this mile by mile on their bicycles. As athletes with Type 1 diabetes, they wanted to be living proof that anything is possible.

But along the way, Joe and Phil needed to dispel a few myths people had about diabetes.
