Find out with our Asian BMI Calculator Let's start with checking your BMI Over a half of Asian Americans with type 2 diabetes and an even larger percentage of Asian Americans with prediabetes are unaware that they have diabetes. Screen at 23 is a national awareness campaign that calls for Asian Americans to be screened for type 2 diabetes at a body mass index (BMI) of 23 kg/m2. It supports the ADA's new guidelines for diabetes screening in Asian Americans which is based on recent findings by Dr. William Hsu, et. el in Diabetes Care. AADI is proud to lead this campaign in Massachusetts as a founding partner of the Asian American Native Hawai'ian & Pacific Islanders Diabetes Coalition (AANHPI-DC). If you have any questions regarding the Screen at 23, please contact AADI.  Check Out the New AADI Website New aadi.joslin.org is now available The AADI trilingual website has been accessed from over 160 countries.
