💙 November is Diabetes Awareness Month! 💙

🩸Diabetes affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose), your body’s main source of energy. When blood sugar stays too high, it can damage the eyes, heart, kidneys, and nerves over time.

Types of Diabetes:
🔹 Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune disease where the body attacks the pancreas, reducing or stopping insulin production. Without enough insulin, blood sugar rises and must be managed with daily insulin therapy.
🔹 Type 2 Diabetes: Develops over time when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough. High blood sugar can often be managed through nutrition, physical activity, medication, or insulin.

⚠️ Why it matters:
High blood sugar doesn’t always have obvious symptoms, but it can lead to serious long-term health issues. Early detection is key!

✅ Take control of your health:
1 in 3 adults don’t know they’re at risk for diabetes, get tested, and learn your numbers.

FREE Health Screenings:
📍 Watsonville Farmers Market – Tuesdays, 3–5 PM
📍 Seaside Farmers Market – Nov 6, 3–6 PM
📍 Marina Farmers Market – Nov 16, 10 AM
