At least 1 in 2 Latinos will experience diabetes in their lifetime, yet many are unaware they are even at risk!

November is National Diabetes Awareness month and a great opportunity to share life saving information with family and friends!

According to the CDC, U.S. Latinos are 50% more likely to die from diabetes than their non-Latino white peers. The good news is that there are steps one can take to help prevent diabetes and advocate for healthier communities on behalf of others.  

Join us this Tuesday, Nov. 28th, during our weekly #SaludTues chat, as we chat about ways to take action against diabetes.
