SUMMARY:World Diabetes Day
DESCRIPTION:Raise awareness of this common condition\, “go blue” to show your support and make lifestyle changes that improve your health on World Diabetes Day. \n\n\n\nWith more than 10% of the American population having been diagnosed with Diabetes\, this day is certainly an important one. Diabetes is the cause of a myriad of dangerous health issues and building awareness is the key to lowering these problems. \n\n\n\nInspiring conversations around health\, wellness and prevention of disease\, Diabetes Day offers the perfect opportunity to get more educated and connected around the cause. \n\n\n\nHow to Observe World Diabetes Day\n\n\n\nTaking part in World Diabetes Day is a noble effort that connects millions of humans in countries all around the globe. \n\n\n\nJoin a World Diabetes Day Event\n\n\n\nVarious events around the world mark the day\, including raising awareness in the media\, lectures and conferences\, sporting events\, and leaflet/poster campaigning. \n\n\n\nFor information and access to global events\, the World Diabetes Day website might be a good place to start. \n\n\n\nOther information about events can be found through local\, national and governmental resources based on specific locations. \n\n\n\nGo Blue\n\n\n\nBlue is the color chosen to denote support of finding a cure for diabetes\, keeping in line with the symbol of the blue circle. “Going blue” is a global event created to mark the day\, where people wear blue ribbons or clothes to note their support and create opportunities for conversation. In addition\, landmark buildings and monuments around the world are lit up in blue\, to help spread awareness about the day. \n\n\n\nGet a Health Checkup\n\n\n\nOne of the most important responses to World Diabetes Day is making the effort to get and stay healthy. The first step is getting to a doctor or clinic and getting a health screening. Some pharmacies even provide free diabetes screenings\, while some local hospitals offer free blood sugar tests. \n\n\n\nMake an Effort to Prevent Diabetes\n\n\n\nAn active and healthy lifestyle is the best prevention tool for diabetes. Get educated on how to do this by finding information through online resources. Here are some of the most important things to know about preventing diabetes: \n\n\n\n\nExercise Regularly. Those who are regularly active have a much lower chance of developing diabetes. Go for a run or a brisk walk\, ride a bicycle or take an exercise class. Get moving as a habit!\n\n\n\nDrink Water. Avoid sticky sweet drinks (even “diet” ones) and make water the go-to beverage of life.\n\n\n\nEat Fresh Food. Avoid all of those high-carb\, empty-calorie pre-packaged foods. Instead\, get into the habit of eating things that grow in the garden. Fresh veggies\, leafy greens\, low-carb fruits\, lean meats and eggs are a great start. https://diabetes.org/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paidsearch&utm_campaign=grants-fundraising-wefight&utm_content=responsive-search-ad&utm_term=awareness&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpP63BhDYARIsAOQkATYBkUkwoV_c0AivZVj40LQyy9ZeKSTsQcnhpUmlCjOIx8Co_DDPLU8aAvD4EALw_wcB
