Did you know that over 37 million Americans have diabetes, and many don’t even know it? Diabetes is a condition where the body struggles to manage blood sugar, either because it doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t use it effectively.

The two main types are Type 1, where the body doesn’t make insulin, and Type 2, which is more common and often linked to lifestyle factors. Warning signs include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision.

The good news? Diabetes is manageable—and even preventable in some cases! Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Stay active with 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. And if you’re at risk, talk to your doctor about regular screenings.

Remember, small changes today can lead to big health benefits tomorrow. Let’s take charge of our health!
