November is American Diabetes Month®, a time to communicate the seriousness of diabetes and the importance of diabetes prevention and control. For years, the American Diabetes Association has used this month as an opportunity to raise awareness of the disease and its serious complications.
In 2009, the Association launched a national movement to Stop Diabetes® – with the audacious goal of gathering the support millions of Americans to help confront, fight and most importantly, stop diabetes.
Join the Stop Diabetes movement right now and Diet V8 Splash will donate $5, up to $50,000 to support diabetes research, education and advocacy efforts.
With nearly 24 million children and adults in the United States living with diabetes, and an additional 57 million Americans at risk, there is no time to waste. One out of every three children born today will face a future with diabetes if current trends continue. Diabetes is not merely a condition. It is disease with deadly consequences. Drastic action is needed. From everyone.
Nearly 24 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes. Another 57 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. One out of every 3 children (and 1 in 2 minority children) born in the United States today will face a future with diabetes if current trends continue.
The death rate from diabetes continues to climb. Since 1987, the death rate due to diabetes has increased by 45%, while the death rates due to cancer, heart disease, and stroke have declined.
