💙 World Diabetes Day: Diabetes Across Every Life Stage 💙

This year’s theme, “Diabetes across life stages,” reminds us that diabetes can impact anyone — from childhood through older age. No matter the stage of life, everyone deserves access to:

✅ Integrated and compassionate care
✅ Supportive environments
✅ Resources that empower self-management and dignity

Key reminders:
🔹 Diabetes can affect people at any age
🔹 Prevention + care must be continuous across life stages
🔹 Supporting self-care empowers individuals to live healthier lives

Today, and every day, we raise awareness and advocate for lasting change. Together, we can promote education, support, and hope for everyone affected by diabetes. 💙

Let’s spread awareness. Let’s support each other. Let’s make a difference — at every stage of life.

It’s Movember! 💙
Join the global movement that's changing the face of men's health. Movember empowers men to take charge of their health and seek support when they need it — especially when it comes to mental health, su***de prevention, and prostate & testicular cancer.

You can get involved by choosing your challenge:
👨🏻 Grow a mustache
🏃‍♂️ Move — run or walk 60 miles this month
🎉 Host a fundraising event

Every mustache grown, mile moved, and dollar raised helps fund life-saving research, services, and programs that break down barriers to care for men everywhere.

Let’s spark conversations, raise awareness, and support men's health — one mustache at a time. 🥸💪

Although breast cancer is much more common in women, breast cancer affects men, too. In 2021, President Joe Biden designated October 17 to October 23 Men’s Breast Cancer Awareness Week. According to the American Cancer Society, about 2,800 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025, and about 510 are expected to die from the disease. But lack of awareness and stigma can be barriers to detection and care in men, trans men, and non-binary people.

Family medicine is at the heart of primary care. More family doctors practice primary care in the U.S. than any other specialty—and they’re the ones most likely to be right where communities need them. From small towns to underserved neighborhoods, family physicians are often the lifeline people count on for care close to home. At Lake San Marcos Family Medicine, our physicians carry this mission forward, offering caring support through primary care services to help you optimize your health.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, with over 360,000 new cases expected to be diagnosed globally in 2024. Early detection significantly increases survival rates, with a 99% five-year relative survival rate when caught in its earliest stages.

Early detection is important. Learn about your family history, perform self-exams, have a mammogram screening, and talk to your doctor about prevention and signs to be aware of.
