TalkDiabetes Health on deCODE T2 Diabetes Risk Test
Not sure how I missed this, but in May the popular diabetes magazine Diabetes Health ran a short article announcing the test. They included a nice quote from my boss, Ryan:
“The deCODE test can provide new insight for those concerned about the possibility of developing type 2 diabetes. The results of this genetic test, along with the support provided by our team of genetic counselors, can help people understand their risk of developing this disease and provide them with valuable information to help prevent the onset of disease.”
The online version of the article even includes a link to the DNA Direct website. Genetic counseling got mentioned (it usually ends up on the editor’s floor, even though it’s an important aspect of genetic risk testing). Nice PR!

Hi I am Rudy Barroso. I am 13 years old and my sister and I have created a board game that teaches families about diabetes, and its called Future Focus. Future Focus is a fun educational tool that people can use to educate themselves and the people around them.
My sister is the Juvenal diabetes research foundation youth ambassador and we both publicly speak in large conventions to help get out our game. If you would like further information on our game see our website at http://www.futurefocusgame.com. We were wondering if you can have a link on your website to our website if possible.
Thank you,
Rudy Barroso
