November shines a light on diabetes, a global health challenge affecting millions of lives. This Diabetes Awareness Month invites us to understand, support, and take action against a condition that impacts families, communities, and individuals worldwide.
Visit the Diabetes (Diseases and Conditions) LibGuide for information and resources on diabetes.
Diabetes isn’t just a medical diagnosis—it’s a daily journey of management, resilience, and hope. From Type 1 and Type 2 to gestational diabetes, this complex condition requires awareness, education, and compassionate support.
On November 14, World Diabetes Day provides a global platform to raise awareness, improve access to healthcare, and highlight the critical need for diabetes prevention and management.
This month is about more than statistics. It’s about understanding, prevention, and supporting those living with diabetes through research, community support, and personal empowerment. Whether through learning about nutrition, supporting diabetes research, or simply showing compassion to those managing this condition, every act of awareness counts.
Together, we can build a healthier, more informed future.
A message from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
It’s National Diabetes Month!
