💁November is National Diabetes Month!
Did you know diabetes happens when your body can’t use or make insulin properly, causing high blood sugar? It can develop at any age, and risk increases with age, family history, weight, or inactivity.
📊 Quick facts:
About 12% of adults in Arkansas have diabetes, higher than the national average.
Lifestyle matters: staying active, eating healthy, and regular check-ups can make a big difference.
Ask your provider about screening if you’re 45+, have risk factors, or haven’t checked your blood sugar recently.
Let’s use this month to raise awareness and take steps toward a healthier life! 💪
