What Will You Do to Stop Diabetes? On March 23rd, the American Diabetes Association will ask the American public “What will you do to Stop Diabetes? Know your risk.” The Association will encourage people to join the Stop Diabetes movement by taking the Diabetes Risk Test to find out if they are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Risk Test asks users to answer simple questions about weight, age, family history and other potential risks for pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Risk Test shows users whether they are at low, moderate or high risk for type 2 diabetes. If they are at high risk, they are encouraged to talk with their health care provider.

Getting regular screening tests is the best way for women to lower their risk of dying from breast cancer. Screening tests can find breast cancer early, when it's most treatable. Unfortunately, access to screening is a major barrier for women who live in rural areas. Susan G. Komen for the Cure currently provides funding to West Virginia University Mary Babb Cancer Center to develop small media campaigns to promote Bonnie’s Bus.

Unfortunately, access to screening is a major barrier for women who live in rural areas. Susan G. Komen for the Cure currently provides funding to West Virginia University Mary Babb Cancer Center to develop small media campaigns to promote Bonnie’s Bus. Bonnie’s Bus is a mobile digital mammography unit that will provide mammograms to patients who have historically not had access to screening. The grant also supports the development of a statewide network for newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients to gain access to clinical trials. WVU is developing an infrastructure for a statewide clinical trials network and referral tree to provide timely, appropriate state-of-the-art treatment to underserved women diagnosed through Bonnie’s Bus.
