Help Raise Awareness

November is American Diabetes Month

Nov 5, 2015 | Posted by Roberta | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

diabetesAssnFollow and join the conversation with #DiabetesMonth and #stopdiabetes

Sponsor: American Diabetes Association

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. It can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems if it’s not controlled.

One in 11 Americans have diabetes – that’s more than 29 million people. And another 86 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The good news? People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes. These changes include: eating healthy, increasing physical activity, and losing weight.

How can American Diabetes Month make a difference?
We can use this month to raise awareness about diabetes risk factors and encourage people to make healthy changes.

Here are just a few ideas:

  • Encourage people to make small changes, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
  • Talk to people in your community about getting regular checkups. They can get their blood pressure and cholesterol checked, and ask the doctor about their diabetes risk.
  • Ask doctors and nurses to be leaders in their communities by speaking about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity.

How can I help spread the word?
We’ve made it easier for you to make a difference. This toolkit is full of ideas to help you take action today. For example:

  • Add information about preventing type 2 diabetes to your newsletter.
  • Tweet about American Diabetes Month.
  • Host a community event where families can be active while learning about local health resources.
  • Add a Web badge to your website, blog, or social networking profile.
  • Join the American Diabetes Association in celebrating American Diabetes Month.
