The American Diabetes Association is making a new push for people to take a test that can help them better understand their chances of developing the disorder.

The CDC estimates that just over 7 percent of Wisconsin’s population has some form of diabetes. However, Geralyn Spollet with the American Diabetes Association says millions of people in the U.S. don’t even know they have the disease yet. That’s largely because Type-2 Diabetes, unlike Type-1, develops much later in life and is often slow to have a noticeable effect on a person’s health.

The Association is offering a new risk assessment test to help people understand their chances of developing the disorder. By answering a series of questions and then scoring the test, you can gain a better understanding of what lifestyle changes you may need to make.

If you come up with five points or more, Spollett says you have a higher risk of developing the disorder. She says you should talk to your doctor about monitoring for the disease.

State health officials are investigating an outbreak with ties to Wisconsin. So far, at least eight Wisconsin residents have contracted the same strain of Salmonella Bareilly that has shown up in 19 states.

Nationwide, 90 people have been sickened by the infection.

In Wisconsin, state Department of Health Services spokeswoman Stephanie Smiley says three people were hospitalized. All eight have made a full recovery. Each of the Wisconsin infections was in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties.

While some of the victims reported eating sushi before they got sick, Smiley says not everyone shared that connection. As a result, she says the source remains unknown at this time.

Smiley says anyone experiencing symptoms of Salmonella poisoning, such as fever, abdominal cramps or diarrhea, should contact their health care provider. She says that could give health officials more data to try and find a common link between patients.

UPDATE: State Health Officials have confirmed a 9th Wisconsin case tied to the nationwide outbreak.

A new report indicates St. Croix County has the healthiest residents in the state. The study is from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, which looked at factors such as access to health care, unemployment, and density of fast food restaurants in determining the health outcomes of residents living in the state’s 72 counties.

Rounding out the top five in the state were Ozaukee, Taylor, Iowa, and Vernon Counties. The lowest rankings went to Jackson, Adams, Milwaukee, Marquette, and Menominee Counties.

In four of the five lowest ranked counties, Institute Director Karen Timberlake says limited access to health care due to the rural setting was a major factor. While access to care is readily available in Milwaukee County, she says high levels of poverty and unemployment can take a toll on the health of the population.

Timberlake says the findings are intended to spark a discussion among local officials about what other communities are doing to promote active and healthy lifestyles. She says the rankings help show where they are doing well and where there is room for improvement.

Timberlake says, even in the healthiest communities, there is always something that can be done to improve the health of residents.
