November is Diabetes Awareness Month 💙

This week, the Carter County Health Department, in partnership with Mercy Ardmore, hosted a Diabetes Education Conference.

Speakers shared practical ways to manage diabetes through healthy eating, blood sugar monitoring, and the “15 for 15” method - a simple approach to treating low blood sugar.

The conference also featured discussions on different types of medication and continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs), providing insights for better diabetes management and improved quality of life.

Together, we can build a healthier, more informed community.

If you would like to connect with a diabetes nurse educator at no cost, contact debra.graham@health.ok.gov, or call 580-223-9705.
