Your monthly news & updates from AHN!


Over 34 million Americans have diabetes, and over 88 million have prediabetes. There are several different types of diabetes, but the most common is Type 2 Diabetes. In Type 2 diabetes, the body may not be sensitive to the hormone insulin, which helps bring blood sugar from the blood vessels into the cells for energy production; or the body may not be producing enough insulin to get sugar into the cells. In both scenarios, blood sugar becomes elevated and leads to health problems associated with diabetes. 



Type 2 Diabetes can be prevented!

Time to discuss potentially unpleasant side effects of COVID shots? Scientists say yes.
Drugmaker Pfizer is expected to seek federal permission to release its COVID-19 vaccine by the end of November, a move that holds promise for quelling the pandemic, but also sets up a tight time frame for making sure consumers understand what it will mean to actually get the shots.
Contact-tracing and exposure-notification apps are a new technology rapidly developed and launched to respond to the COVID-19 global health crisis.
The development of such applications is placing governments, corporations, and citizens around the world into an ongoing ethical design experiment resulting in potentially life-saving outcomes but also potential risks.
