November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time for us in Nebraska to slow down and reflect on our lifestyle choices — the food we eat, how much we move, and how well we rest. It’s also a great opportunity to have meaningful conversations with the people we care about.

Take a moment this month to check in with loved ones: ask how their routines are going, share a walk or a healthy meal, and consider getting screened or learning more about your diabetes risk.
Let’s use this month to support one another, stay informed, and commit to actions that protect our long-term health — such as joining a local Diabetes Prevention Program.

For more information, contact your local health department or visit the Nebraska Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Program webpage.

Have you had a health screening? Screenings help find problems early when they may be easier to treat. Using only a finger prick we can determine your numbers in a short time.
Diabetes: People with family history, who have gestational diabetes or who are overweight should be screened. Lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, healthy eating, and physical activity are ways to prevent diabetes. People with diabetes are at an increased risk for high cholesterol and heart disease.
High Blood Pressure: Staying active and eating a healthy diet can minimize high blood pressure. A family history of heart disease or stroke may warrant more frequent screenings.
If you have too much cholesterol in your body, it can build up inside your blood vessels and make it hard for blood to flow through them. Over time, this can lead to heart disease. Know your numbers.
You will get your results immediately and have a copy to share with your provider.

We want Halloween to be scary for all the right reasons. That’s why it’s so important for all our little monsters to wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight, glow stick, or reflective bag. But don’t take it from us, here’s a group of funky dancing kids who show us it’s fun to be seen on Halloween. 🎃
