LifeWorks EAP Spotlight: It's American Diabetes Month

One in 11 Americans have diabetes—that’s more than 29 million people. Another 86 million American adults are at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Some people with type 2 can control their blood glucose with healthy eating and being active. But some may be prescribed oral medications or insulin by their doctors to help manage their diabetes. Millions of people with Type 2 diabetes don't even know they have it. The good news is that making healthy changes can greatly lower your risk and help prevent Type 2 diabetes.

Find out more helpful information about diabetes on the LifeWorks EAP website.
