November Is National Diabetes Month

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It affects about 38.4 million Americans—or 11.6% of the U.S. population, including adults and youth.

Diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart, and is linked to some types of cancer. For National Diabetes Month, we encourage you to take charge of your health as soon as possible to help prevent these diabetes health problems. You can take steps to build healthy lifestyle habits, take your medicines on time, manage your stress, and work with your health care team to get the personal care you need.

Visit our National Diabetes Month page for more information, including resources to help raise awareness all month long.
