November is American Diabetes Awareness Month

Diabetes is a costly and devastating illness. Some 329,000 individuals in Wisconsin have the disease, but about one-third do not realize it. Diabetes can cause disabling complications, including heart disease, kidney disease, and blindness. Studies show that specific lifestyle changes can delay the onset and in some cases prevent the occurrence of Type 2 diabetes.
