Every November, Diabetes Awareness Month is observed to raise awareness about the impact of diabetes, a chronic disease that affects millions of people in America. There are multiple types of diabetes including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (which occurs during pregnancy), which may result in varying complications and health outcomes. Nationally, more than 38 million Americans (or nearly 12% of the population) have diabetes, including children. More concerning, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) estimates that 97 million individuals in the U.S. are prediabetic.
