November is for Taking Control of Diabetes
November is American Diabetes Month, and for the 1 in 10 Americans diagnosed with
diabetes, staying current on the latest advances is vital.
Healthy eating, getting more activity and, if necessary, shedding a few pounds, is great advice that benefits most adults today, but it's particularly important if you already have diabetes.
Weight loss and nutrition counseling, self-management education, and
insulin-pump training can help you live your healthiest life if you have diabetes, and prevent some of the more serious complications, like heart disease, stroke, amputations and blindness, down the road.
Take control of your diabetes by making an appointment with a certified diabetes educator. Call
