💙 November is National Diabetes Awareness Month! 💙

🩺 Know the Signs. Know Your Risk. Get Screened!

Did you know that many people living with diabetes don't know they have it? Prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes can develop without noticeable symptoms.

⚠️ Common symptoms of diabetes include:

💧 Increased thirst

🚻 Frequent urination

😴 Feeling tired more often

👁️ Blurred vision

🔍 What's the difference between prediabetes and diabetes screening?

✅ Prediabetes:Blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. A simple blood test can help identify prediabetes before it progresses to Type 2 diabetes.

✅ Diabetes:Blood tests can determine whether your blood sugar levels are in the diabetes range. Early detection can help prevent serious health complications.

💙 Take Action Today!

Talk to your healthcare provider about getting screened for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The same blood tests can help identify both conditions!

👉 Find out if you're at risk by taking the CDC Prediabetes Risk Test: https://www.cdc.gov/prediabetes/risktest/index.html

Know your numbers. Know your risk. Protect your health!
