Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. If it’s not controlled, diabetes can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems. One in 12 Americans has diabetes – that’s more than 25 million people. And another 79 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The good news? People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes. These changes include: eating healthy, increasing physical activity, and losing weight. How can American Diabetes Month make a difference? We can use this month to raise awareness about diabetes risk factors and encourage people to make healthy changes. Here are just a few ideas: • Encourage people to make small changes, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator. • Talk to people in your community about getting regular checkups. They can get their blood pressure and cholesterol checked, and ask the doctor about their diabetes risk. • Ask doctors and nurses to be leaders in their communities by speaking about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity. Choose to Live: Sisters Strong Together is sponsored by the African American Initiatives. This program is designed to help African-American women take charge of their health. We talk about why, as African-American women, sometimes don't take care of ourselves. This program will help us learn ways to take care of ourselves, which in the end will help our families, friends, our co-workers and our community. The program will focus on what we can do to take charge of our health and our own lives, and then take better care of others.
