November is American Diabetes Month ®

Join the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in the national movement to stop diabetes. Raise awareness about this illness and its serious complications, and educate the families you see about the importance of prevention and control. Consider these statistics from the ADA:

• 24 million children and adults in the United States live with diabetes
• 57 million Americans are at risk for type 2 diabetes
• 1 out of every 3 children born today will face a future with diabetes if current trends continue
