November is American Diabetes Month: Reduce Your Diabetes Risk
You may think that diabetes is just a disease that affects your parents or grandparents, but keep this in mind: According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), two million adolescents (or one in six overweight adolescents) aged 12-19 have pre-diabetes, a precursor condition to one of the most prevalent medical conditions affecting our country.
November is not just a season where we celebrate Thanksgiving, but also it is a month in which we educate ourselves and each other about diabetes through American Diabetes Month.
