American Diabetes Month
www.diabetes.org
Every November, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) encourages the public to learn more about diabetes and the risks associated with the disease. Nearly 21 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes, a serious condition that affects the body's ability to produce or respond properly to insulin, a hormone that allows blood glucose (sugar) to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy. Learn more on the ADA's Web site.

Did you know that every 30 seconds, a person somewhere in the world loses a lower limb to diabetes? The human foot often shows initial signs of severe medical conditions, such as diabetes. That's why it's so important to "Knock Your Socks Off" and have your feet examined during regular checkups, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). Learn more about this campaign on the APMA's Web site.
