Today is World Diabetes Day, a reminder to check in with yourself and make your health a priority. 💙

Diabetes affects millions of people around the world, and early awareness can make all the difference. Understanding your risk factors—such as family history, age, physical activity level, or past glucose readings—can help you take meaningful steps toward long-term health.

You’re not alone in this. Talk with your healthcare provider about screening, prevention options, and healthy habits that support your well-being. Small steps today can lead to a healthier tomorrow.

November is National Diabetes Month, a time to focus on early detection and taking steps to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. 💙

If you’re concerned about your risk for diabetes, you may benefit from learning more about prediabetes. Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not yet diabetes — and with the right support, it can be reversed.

Multiple organizations in North Carolina offer a 12-month Diabetes Prevention Program that includes:
✔️ Coaching from trained lifestyle coaches
✔️ Support from others working toward similar goals
✔️ Guidance on healthy eating and physical activity
✔️ Stress-reduction strategies
✔️ Tools to help you stay motivated

🚨 Health Alert: Nationwide Infant Formula Recall Linked to Infant Botulism

Do not use any ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. All unexpired cans and single-serve sticks have been recalled nationwide following an outbreak of infant botulism.

As of November 11, 15 infants across 12 states have suspected or confirmed cases linked to this formula — including one suspected case under investigation in North Carolina.

🍼 If you have this formula:
• Stop using it immediately.
• Take a photo of the lot number or package details.
• Safely throw it away or return it to the store where it was purchased.
• Wash bottles, ni***es, counters, and any surfaces that may have touched the formula using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher.

⚠️ Watch for symptoms of infant botulism (can take weeks to appear):
• Poor feeding
• Difficulty swallowing
• Decreased facial expression
• Loss of head control
• Trouble breathing or respiratory difficulty

If your infant has consumed ByHeart formula and shows any of these signs, seek medical care immediately.

ℹ️ Additional information:
• ByHeart formula represents less than 1% of U.S. infant formula sales.
• This recall does not affect WIC-eligible products.
• The recall is not expected to cause formula shortages.

As the federal government shutdown continues, NCDHHS received guidance from the United States Department of Agriculture to issue partial benefits for November to the nearly 1.4 million people who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

NCDHHS is updating its payment system according to USDA’s specifications to prepare to issue benefits. If federal funding is provided this week as expected, NCDHHS expects all partial benefits to be loaded onto EBT cards by next week, so beneficiaries should check the balances on their cards often.

This follows USDA’s statement it would use $4.65 billion in emergency funds to cover about half of the federal SNAP program for the month of November in response to a lawsuit filed by North Carolina and 24 other states.
