National Diabetes Month

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, a time to recognize the impact that this disease has on millions of Americans. This year, National Diabetes Month is focused on promoting health after gestational diabetes, which develops during pregnancy. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), mothers who are diagnosed with gestational diabetes are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life. Additionally, their children also have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and becoming obese.

For more information about National Diabetes Month, please visit the NIDDK website and the American Diabetes Association website.
