Each November is designated National Diabetes Awareness Month. It’s a time to bring attention to diabetes and its impact on millions of Americans.

To learn if you or someone you know is at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, take a simple 60-second, 7-question risk test on the American Diabetes Association website.

November 14 is International World Diabetes Day.  It’s the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign reaching a global audience of over 1 Billion people in more than 160 countries.  The campaign draws attention to issues of importance to the diabetes world and keeps diabetes firmly in the public and political spotlight.  Blue is the official color to bring awareness around the world on this day.
