November Is Diabetes Awareness Month: "November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and once again your opportunity to learn more about diabetes and the risks associated with it. Diabetes is a serious disease that affects the body's ability to produce or respond properly to insulin, a hormone that allows blood glucose (sugar) to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy. Nearly 21 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes, and it is the fifth deadliest disease in the nation. Diabetes has no cure. "
