November is American Diabetes Month. Raising awareness is so important in America because it focuses the nation’s attention on issues surrounding diabetes.
According the the American Diabetes Association, here are a few statistics on diabetes in the United States:
-30 million US children and adults have diabetes
-86 million Americans have prediabetes
-The national cost of diagnosed diabetes in the US is 245 billion
Here at Prairie Lakes we want people not only to be aware of diabetes, but know how to control it. Join us for our Diabetes Support Group on November 13th at 6:00 pm. Click here for more information.
