November is National #diabetesmonth. The first step to diabetes prevention and control is knowing what diabetes is.
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It can lead to health problems related to your eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart and is linked to some types of cancer.
