Nutrition: 4 healthy diet habits to start for National Diabetes Awareness Month - Los Angeles Daily News
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, a campaign to spread awareness about diabetes risk factors and how to make healthy lifestyle changes to prevent and manage diabetes. Diabetes affects 30 million Americans, which is about one in ten people. Many more people are at risk of developing diabetes.
Diabetes is a condition that affects the body’s ability to properly turn food into energy, which results in the sugar or glucose in the blood becoming elevated. The consequences of poorly controlled blood sugar levels include risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems.
Regardless of the type of diabetes, it is a condition that is treatable, but unfortunately does not have a cure. Therefore, once diagnosed, medical management and self-care through healthy eating and physical activity are key to a long, healthy life with diabetes. Whether you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes due to a family history, good nutrition plays an important role in improving overall blood sugar levels.
