American Diabetes Association Alert Day is observed worldwide every fourth Tuesday of March. Established by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in 1988, the day aims to educate the public about the dangers of diabetes and encourages individuals to take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test. This test is free and anonymous, available online, and takes about a minute to complete. Participants receive diabetes prevention tips along with their results. The day also promotes sharing the test with friends and family, donating to the ADA or similar organizations, and using the hashtag #DiabetesAlert on social media to spread the message. The ADA, a nonprofit organization founded in 1939, focuses on diabetes education and management.
