It's National Diabetes Month. Here's a common question brought forth by the American Diabetes Association:

Q: Do sugary drinks cause diabetes?
A: Research has shown that drinking sugary drinks is linked to type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people avoid drinking sugar-sweetened beverages and switch to water whenever possible to help prevent type 2 diabetes.

Sugary drinks also raise blood glucose (blood sugar) and can provide several hundred calories in just one serving. Just one 12-ounce can of regular soda has about 150 calories and 40 grams of sugar, a type of carbohydrate (carb). This is the same as 10 teaspoons of sugar.

Sugar-sweetened beverages include beverages like:
• Regular soda
• Fruit punch
• Fruit drinks
• Energy drinks
• Sports drinks
• Sweet tea
• Sweetened coffee drinks
• Other sugary drinks

If you have questions about diabetes management, reach out to Mason Health's Diabetes Wellness Team at 360-427-7332.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month! If you think you (or someone you love) is at risk for diabetes, consider taking this 1-minute risk test: https://diabetes.org/diabetes-risk-test

Here's a Frequently Asked Question from the American Diabetes Association (http://diabetes.org)

Q: If you’re overweight, will you always develop type 2 diabetes?
A: Being overweight is a risk factor for developing diabetes, but other risk factors such as how much physical activity you get, family history, ethnicity, and age also play a role. Unfortunately, many people think that weight is the only risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but many people with type 2 diabetes are at a normal weight or only moderately overweight.
