National Diabetes Month: Empowering Lives Through Awareness and Care

November is National Diabetes Month, which provides an opportunity to shine a light on diabetes, prevention and support for those living with the disease. At Havenova Home Care, we believe that everyone should have access to caring, tailored and affordable diabetes home care for a healthier lifestyle in the way you want.

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease in which the body’s use of food for production of energy is affected. When the body makes not enough insulin — or can’t use it properly — blood sugar levels skyrocket, causing long-term complications.

The main 3 types of diabetes are:

Type 1 Diabetes: Usually diagnosed in children and young adults, the body does not produce or makes a minimal amount of insulin.

Type 2 Diabetes: The most frequently occurring type, typically lifestyle and family-history related.

Gestational Diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy and can lead to increased risk of Type 2 diabetes later in life.

Today, 37 million Americans have diabetes. When it comes to diabetes management, the keys are proper education and understanding and availability of good diabetes care at home.

Develop New Habits for Improved Control of Diabetes

This National Diabetes Month, the emphasis is on good daily habits that can help prevent or manage diabetes. Here even “small” changes can have a huge impact:

Eat Well: Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins.

Be Active: Exercise regularly can help control blood sugar levels.

Hydrate & Relax: Keep up with hydration and ensure you get quality sleep.

Check Your Blood Sugar: Test as directed to keep things in balance and help prevent complications.

In addition, positive behavior with professional diabetic care management can meaningfully enhance quality of life.
