Appalachian Diabetes Coalitions

11/14/2025

Every year on November 14th, World Diabetes Day is celebrated. This is a day to spread awareness of the condition as well as prevention and management messaging.

Today we take the time to recognize youth who are diagnosed with diabetes. Although the diagnosis can be scary and lead to some feelings of uncertainty, diabetes can typically be managed with a healthy lifestyle and medications.
For more information talk to your doctor or visit: https:// diabetes.org/.
