Note from Andrea: Diabetes Awareness Month; End of Year Insurance Benefits
November is Diabetes Awareness Month
November 14 is World Diabetes Day
Our team member Kristin has a child with type 1 diabetes, and this month she is sharing some of the frustrations she experiences as a parent. Although technology advances have made this a better time to be living with diabetes, she reminds us of the myths and stigmas people with diabetes still face.
Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator Deb Lounsbury is our team “diabetes guru”. If you or someone you know is struggling to manage their blood sugars and is trying to get better control over diabetes, Deb can provide customized help. Deb can show you how to make simple changes in your lifestyle to prevent or delay the onset of developing Type 2 diabetes if your doctor has warned you about having borderline high blood sugars or pre-diabetes.
