This post was sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation’s “Are You the 33%?” campaign as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
A few weeks back, I had shared the importance of speaking with a doctor if you are at an increased risk for chronic kidney disease. People living with type 2 diabetes or who have a family history of chronic kidney disease area at-risk population. With both my parents having type 2 diabetes, it puts them in the 33% group of people in the U.S. who are at-risk.
My parents took the quiz on MinuteForYourKidneys.org and found the below results. Honestly, I am not surprised at the results, but knowing this for a fact helps me be more conscious of my parents health in the future.
Did you know that 33% of adults in the United States are at risk for chronic kidney disease and most don't even know it? Isn’t that shocking? It’s very easy to live in denial, but as we all know, the best way to manage any illness is to take precautions earlier on. Chronic kidney disease, if diagnosed at the right time, is treatable. Early diagnosis can help slow or prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease while also reducing the risk for other problems like heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.
So now that you all know the importance of diagnosing yourself early on if you are prone to type 2 diabetes, make sure to take this quiz. The quiz will take you one minute and give you the results instantly.
Take a step today for yourself as well as your loved ones and live the best healthy life that you are supposed to live!
