November is National Diabetes Awareness Month

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, a time when communities across the country come together to bring attention to diabetes.  This year’s focus is on prediabetes and preventing diabetes. 

According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 U.S. adults have prediabetes — that’s 88 million people — but most people don’t even know they have it.  The good news is that by making small healthy lifestyle changes, it is possible to prevent type 2 diabetes and even reverse your prediabetes.

Learn more about how you can help to prevent and manage prediabetes.  Join us in the fight and finding a cure! Locally, the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at the Columbia University Medical Center, is doing their part. Join us supporting their cause and ending diabetes.
