November Is Diabetes Awareness Month
November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Diabetes is the fastest-growing chronic disease in the world. It is also the most expensive chronic disease in the U.S. More than 37 million Americans have diabetes and one in five people don’t even know they have it. According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes causes more deaths than breast cancer and AIDS combined — in November alone, approximately 116,500 Americans will be diagnosed with diabetes and 23,500 will lose their lives to diabetes-related illness.[1]
