November is National Diabetes Month
According to the American Diabetes Association "An estimated 10.3
million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 5.4
million people are not aware that they have the disease." These are
startling figures for a disease that has no cure. Healthy living may
decrease your risk of some types of diabetes. So, the best thing we can
do is educate ourselves and our families about the risks and warning
signs, and learn what we can do to stay healthy.
Why not take the time to educate yourself and your family? This month on
1st Health Source, you can find information about healthy
alternatives, basic nutrition,
fitness, beauty and more.
Remember, information is knowledge and knowledge is power.
Keep in mind that diabetes can effect anyone, and it effects various
parts of the body including the eyes, kidneys, nervous system and heart.
You can take a risk factor test by visiting the American Diabetes
Association web site and learn detailed information about this chronic
disease.
