7 Ways To Cross Diabetes Awareness Month Off The Calendar
Copyright © 2005, MetamorFitness, Katrina McKenna

November is National Diabetes Awareness month. Diabetes is the
seventh leading cause of death (fifth leading cause of death by
disease) in America. According to the American Diabetes
Association Diabetes affects over 20 million Americans, that's
7% of the population! Another 41 million Americans have pre-
diabetes. That means out of every 5 people at least one of them
has either diabetes or pre-diabetes. Chances are this includes
you are someone you know. Every day approximately 2,200 people
are diagnosed with diabetes, and the statistics getting worse
each year.
I believe we can reverse this trend through education and
awareness. Here are 7 things that we all can do to reverse the
trend and eliminate the need for Diabetes Awareness Month.
1. Talk to your doctor, if you have diabetes or are at risk for
diabetes you must find out as much as possible from your doctor
as soon as possible.
2. If you have diabetes, learn how to manage your blood sugar.
This is vitally important to reduce the risk of serious
complications, such as heart disease, blindness, kidney failure,
and lower-extremity amputations.
3. If you do not have diabetes, find out if you are at-risk. Find
out how you can reduce your risk factors, to prevent or postpone
a diagnosis.
4. Donate to the American Diabetes Association, directly or
sponsor someone in the Diabetes Walk or the Tour de Cure. You can
participate or volunteer for one of these events. Find out more
from the American Diabetes Association at http://www.diabetes.org
5. Maintain or obtain a healthy weight. If you have diabetes,
losing weight will improve your blood sugar control, and if you
are risk, it reduces your likelihood of becoming diabetic.
6. Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet will also help keep your
blood sugar stable and helps you maintain a healthy weight.
Moderating calories helps maintain or lose weight, and
controlling the amount of carbohydrates and when you eat them
helps control your blood sugar.
7. Exercise regularly. Exercise is very important in controlling
blood sugar and even preventing diabetes. Moderate exercise most
days of the week improves insulin resistance and assists in
weight-loss or maintenance. Exercise is vital tool for a long,
healthy life whether you have diabetes or not.
