It’s Movement Monday! Put on your walking shoes and get your steps! 👟

Movement is medicine, and for people with diabetes it’s as important as counting carbs and taking medication - sometimes more!

This month we encourage you to get moving for diabetes! Track your steps and let us know what your personal record is! Even better if you take a friend.

Where are your favorite places to walk?

💙 It’s Diabetes Awareness Month! 💙

This November, we are starting the conversation on diabetes, and want to hear your voices with ours. Diabetes impacts millions worldwide. It’s not just a month for awareness; it’s a month for action, education, and support.

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing facts, personal stories, and healthy living tips for those living with all types of diabetes, and for everyone who loves someone with diabetes!

Here’s how you can be a part of it:
🧠 Learn: Follow us for information on risk factors, symptoms, and management.
🗣️ Share: Use the comments to share your own experiences or words of encouragement, and tag others to invite even deeper convos.
🤝 Support: Find resources to help you or a loved one thrive.
Let’s break the stigma, inspire healthier communities, and work towards a world free from diabetes.
