November Health Awareness American Diabetes Month® The vision of
the American Diabetes Association is a life free of diabetes and
all of its burdens. Raising awareness of this ever-growing
disease is one of the main efforts behind the mission of the
Association. American Diabetes Month® (ADM) is an important
element in this effort, with programs designed to focus the
nation's attention on the issues surrounding diabetes and the
many people who are impacted by the disease. Here are just a few
of the recent statistics on diabetes: - Nearly 26 million
children and adults in the United States have diabetes. -
Another 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes and are at risk
for developing type 2 diabetes. - The American Diabetes
Association estimates that the total national cost of diagnosed
diabetes in the United States is $174 billion. American Diabetes
Month takes place each November and is a time to come together
as a community to Stop Diabetes®. Please visit this link to
