“Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are estimated to affect about 37 million American adults and children”.
November is National Diabetes Month – a time when communities across the country seek to bring attention to diabetes, which is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called “blood sugar,” is too high. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), type 1 and type 2 diabetes are estimated to affect about 37 million American adults and children. If left unmanaged, diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart, and it is linked to certain types of cancer.
