Diabetes Awareness Month

Diabetes Awareness Month is an annual campaign held every November to raise understanding of diabetes, a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar levels. There are two main types: Type 1, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells, and Type 2, often linked to lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. The month aims to promote education, early detection, and management strategies, reducing complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, and vision loss. Increased awareness helps individuals make informed health choices, supports those affected, and encourages efforts toward prevention and better care.
