Hi Friends and Neighbors,
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month.
Did you know that:
* Diabetes is the LEADING cause of blindness in adults age 20 to 74?
* Every 19 seconds, one American is diagnosed with diabetes?
* Of the 34.2 million Americans with diabetes, 7.3 million are UNDIAGNOSED?
*For many people, the first sign of diabetes may be detected on their yearly comprehensive eye exam?
Make sure that your yearly eye exam is a part of your overall health awareness examinations to help detect ocular disease and many other systemic diseases. It is important that if diagnosed with diabetes, that you are always aware of your HbA1c number and fasting blood sugar readings to take control of your health. Treat yourself well and take good care of all aspects of your health. After all, it is a healthy self that allows us to enjoy this beautiful life to it's fullest!
To your health,
Lane Eye Care
