November is Diabetes Awareness Month!

Millions of Americans are living with diabetes — and many don’t even know it. Recognizing the early signs can make a big difference in managing or even preventing serious complications.

Common warning signs include:
• Increased thirst or frequent urination
• Unexplained weight changes
• Fatigue or irritability
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing cuts or frequent infections
• Tingling or numbness in hands or feet

If you’ve noticed these symptoms, it’s important to talk with your provider. Diabetes can often be managed effectively with early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and medical care.
