November is National Diabetes Month and educators are once again educating the public on this condition.
According to the CDC, 30.3 million Americans have diabetes, while 84.1 million have pre-diabetes. Rudolph says you can lower your risks and maintain your health.
Joyce Rudolph, a diabetes educator with the Butler Health System, says you can exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and remember portion control.
She says you should visit your doctor on a regular basis and have good communication with your health care professional. Report to them any symptoms you may be feeling.
If you have any questions about diabetes or would like more information about the hospital’s support group, call 724-284-4374.
