November
is Diabetes Awareness Month
Greetings and Håfa Adai,
 
November brings tidings of the holiday season, but it is also a month to raise awareness of a special cause here at StayWell: diabetes. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. On Guam, 12% of adults are living with diabetes.
