Diabetes Awareness Month
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, a time for the American Diabetes Association and the world to rally behind the fight to end diabetes.
Nationwide, over 38 million people have diabetes and nearly 98 million have prediabetes. In the last 20 years, the number of Americans with diagnosed diabetes has more than doubled.
Diabetes Awareness Month is vital for educating the public, promoting prevention, supporting those affected, and advocating for better resources and research. By increasing awareness, we can work towards reducing the prevalence of diabetes
Why Observe?
- Increase Awareness of Diabetes
- Many people are unaware of the symptoms, risk factors, and complications of diabetes. Observing this month helps to educate you on the condition and its impact.
- Encourage Early Detection
- Millions of people live with undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes. Early detection is crucial to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Observing this month encourages you to get tested.
- Promote Prevention
- Diabetes Awareness Month emphasizes the importance of prevention strategies and empowers individuals to take control of their health.
