Well, November is 34 days away and during American Diabetes Month, the American Diabetes Association (
ADA) will highlight these "
Many Faces of Diabetes."
- Caregivers: (November 1-3) Supporting a loved one with diabetes can present its own unique challenges.
- Employees: (November 4-10) Promoting healthy lifestyles in the workplace can help to prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, saving companies thousands of dollars a year.
- Diabetes around the world: (November 11-17) Worldwide over 246 million people have diabetes. By 2020, that number is expected to rise to 350 million.
- At-risk populations: (November 18-24) One in two minorities born in 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime if current trends continue.
- Youth and Type 1 Diabetes: (November 25-30) Youth diagnosed with type 1 diabetes have the most urgent need for care. The new ADA Planet D campaign will provide resources and networking to those youth and their families.
