(Black PR Wire) November marks National Diabetes Month, a time to raise awareness, deepen education, and encourage healthy lifestyle choices. The Black community continues to face higher rates of diabetes and its complications. According to the Office of Minority Health’s 2024 report, non-Hispanic Black adults were diagnosed with diabetes 24% more often that the total adult population. This disparity highlights the urgent need for more resources, support, and screening in Black communities.

By focusing on prevention and healthy daily habits, we can take meaningful steps toward managing and reducing the risk of diabetes. Here are a few to get started:

• Eating a well-balanced diet
• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Increasing regular physical activity
• Staying on top of routine screenings
• Managing your stress
• Getting enough sleep

This National Diabetes Month, Black PR Wire encourages everyone to take action, spread awareness, and support healthier living. Whether you are managing diabetes, caring for a loved one, or advocating for wellness in your community, your efforts make a real difference!
