The Friday Five – American Diabetes Month

Nov 17, 2017 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

Follow and join the conversation with #DiabetesMonth and #DiabetesAwareness.

November is American Diabetes Month, a time to learn the latest about the disease, help spread awareness and research what you can do to help join the fight to find a cure. This week’s Friday Five looks at the cost of diabetes, new ways to treat and support those with diabetes and some of the latest research about how it can be prevented.

 

 

The Cost of Diabetes in the U.S.: Economic and Well-Being Impact
In honor of American Diabetes Month the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index (@WellBeing_Index) released a new report on the financial and well-being effects of diabetes in the U.S. According to the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index™, the national prevalence of diabetes increased from 10.6% in 2008 to 11.5% for the first nine months of 2017. This increase has had a direct impact on health care costs and health outcomes. This Gallup and Sharecare research also examines diabetes and its relationship to key well-being and productivity outcomes.

This is the month to learn about Diabetes. #ThisIsDiabetes #dstmrac pic.twitter.com/4Izk2C4o0d

American Diabetes Association
The American Diabetes Association (@AmDiabetesAssn) provides a wealth of resources for those living with diabetes, caring for someone who is, or fighting to stop it. In addition to an abundance of information, the Association runs a variety of initiatives and campaigns to help support, encourage and inspire those living with the disease. Be sure to check out their newest initiative In It Together part of which includes the In It Together podcast series where you can listen to real-life stories of overcoming challenges. Finally, check out two of the longer standing campaigns #ThisIsDiabetes and #DearDiabetes on social media.

Diabetes doesn’t care who you are, how old you are, or how healthy you feel. It visits someone new every 21 seconds. This month, join @AmDiabetesAssn and write a letter to Diabetes and share it on social media using #DearDiabetes. Learn more at https://t.co/Mjj5HYHIq5 pic.twitter.com/yUv6oiOjB7
