National Diabetes Awareness Month

Today is the last day of National Diabetes Awareness Month!  This year the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) has created the annual campaign around "Knowing Your Family Health History"


Does Diabetes run in your family?  Take the Quiz:  Family Health History


More than 24 million Americans have Type 2 Diabetes and over 57 million Americans have Pre-Diabetes....I cannot even imagine the number of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetics!


If you have a family history of Diabetes take action with the whole family by trying a quick healthy dish for people with diabetes and their families  when you gather for the holidays or plan to go on a family walk after a holiday meal.  The key is Prevention.  Delay the onset of Diabetes by being Aware of your risk.  Visit the NDEP for more information:  Diabetes Prevention
