This site here appears to NO longer be accessible with the current webtv browser since they have launched the new homepage here. So if you are a webtv(msntv) user you can try getting the site with either proxify.com or surfola.com.
CLick here for a diabetes risk test
This page here is on the diabetes.org site and you can get it on msntv(webtv), but you cannot get the diabetes.org homepage, at least I can't and I have the webtv plus box. And both of the pages end with .jsp ext. So go figure here as to why you can get this one and not the homepage. So Hmmmm
