November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, an important time to raise awareness and promote healthier lifestyles to prevent and manage diabetes. Over 37 million Americans have diabetes, and 1 in 5 of them don't know they have it. Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar, and understanding it is essential for health. There are two main types: 1. Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune disease diagnosed in childhood, requiring lifelong insulin. 2. Type 2 Diabetes: Linked to diet and lifestyle, manageable with exercise, diet, and medication (Most Common Form). Prevention and Management Type 2 diabetes can often be prevented or delayed with these strategies : • Healthy Eating: Regulates blood sugar. • Exercise: Essential for managing weight and blood sugar. • Regular Check-ups: Vital for monitoring blood sugar and overall health. • Stress Management: Helps control blood sugar. • Quit Smoking: Reduces diabetes risk. By prioritizing your health through diet, exercise, and regular check-ups, you can manage diabetes and reduce risk. Remember, diabetes awareness is a year-round commitment.

He earned his bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and his master’s in physician assistant studies from Salus University.
