November is Diabetes Awareness Month!

This year, November is Diabetes Awareness Month. This is a time to reflect and highlight the seriousness of this disease. Diabetes is a life-threatening condition that can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation. In the Unites States, over 24 million children and adults have diabetes, 57 million people are at risk diabetes, and 1 out of every 3 children born today will contract diabetes if the current trends in the United States continue. So this month join Dixie HomeCrafters in the national movement to face, fight, and most of all stop diabetes. Visit this website to see how you can join the movement!
