Diabetes Awareness Month
November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Diabetes refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues of the body.
Chronic diabetes conditions include Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes and gestational diabetes. Prediabetes happens when blood sugar levels are higher than normal, however, the blood sugar levels aren't high enough to be called diabetes. Gestational diabetes, diabetes occuring during pregnancy, affects up to 9% of pregnancies in the U.S. each year.
With Type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly treats the beta cells in the pancreas that create insulin as foreign invaders and destroys them. Symptoms include: urinating often, feeling very thirsty, feeling very hungry-even though you are eating, extreme fatigue, blurry vision, cuts/bruises that are slow to heal, weight loss-even though you are eating more. Treatment includes receiving insulin and blood glucose monitoring.
With Type 2 diabetes, the body does not use insulin properly and this is known as insulin resistance. At first, the beta cells make extra insulin to make up for it. Over time, the pancreas can’t make enough insulin to keep the blood glucose. Treatment for type 2 diabetes includes healthy eating and exercise. However, the health care provider may need to prescribe oral or injectable medications (including insulin) to help meet the target blood glucose levels.
Blood work such as the A1C test can be used to diagnose diabetes or help regulate the treatment plan by giving a picture of the average blood glucose (blood sugar) over the past two to three months. Getting yearly physicals and blood work can help stay ahead of any health risks.
To bring attention to this serious health condition we are asking staff and students to wear blue on November 15th! We hope to have 100 percent participation.
