Featured This Month
November — National Diabetes Month
November is National Diabetes Month — a time to raise awareness about diabetes prevention and management, and to connect communities with the resources and support they need to live well.
Resources
To support UIOs and partners in your outreach, we have included draft copy for your networks and a downloadable graphic. By raising awareness, encouraging prevention strategies, and promoting access to survivor-centered services, Urban Indian Organizations and communities can help build safer, healthier Native communities.
Why it matters: American Indians and Alaska Natives experience diabetes at nearly three times the rate of non-Hispanic white adults, making this a critical health priority for Urban Indian communities. Lifestyle changes, early screening, and access to consistent primary care can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes and help those already living with it manage their health effectively.
Social Media Copy: This November, we’re shining a light on diabetes prevention and management in our community. Whether you are looking to reduce your risk, manage a diagnosis, or support a loved one — we have resources to help. Reach out to our program to learn more.
