American Diabetes Month
By eliza, November 25, 2010, Events, News, Tips & Information
November is American Diabetes month! As of last year, 24 million children and adults in the US are living with diabetes. If you thought that number was scary listen to this one, 57 million Americans are at risk for diabetes. The numbers are too big to hide and something must be done. Last year the Stop Diabetes movement began and with over one million people joining, awareness and prevention measures have been communicated to our citizens.
Last year our country spent about $174 million dollars on direct and indirect costs of diabetes. How can you prevent diabetes? It may not be as easy as it sounds but the most effective way to prevent diabetes is by changing your diet to a healthy, nutritious one, increasing physical activity level, and maintaining a healthy weight. Agreeing to actually try out these measures and spreading prevention to our family, friends, and coworkers we are all putting a stop to diabetes.
