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 U.S. have diabetes. It is the fifth deadliest disease in the U.S. and it has no cure.

Every November, the American Diabetes Association encourages the public to learn more about diabetes and the risks associated with the disease. Below are some ways you can become involved in this year's American Diabetes Month.
