Diabetes Awareness Month Off The
Calendar

Consultant, Katrina McKenna offers 7 ways that everyone can do
to become more aware and improve the statistics on this deadly
disease.
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 25, 2005 —-
November is National Diabetes Awareness month. Diabetes is the
seventh leading cause of death (fifth leading cause of death by
disease) in America. Diabetes affects over 18 million
Americans, that’s 5.9%! Every day approximately 2,200 people
are diagnosed with diabetes, with the statistics getting worse
each year.
Local Fitness consultant, Katrina McKenna of MetamorFitness,
believes we can reverse this trend through education and
awareness. Katrina offers 7 things that we all can do to
reverse the trend and eliminate the need for Diabetes Awareness
Month.
1. Talk to your doctor, if you have diabetes or are at risk for
diabetes you must find out as much as possible from your doctor
as soon as possible.
2. If you have diabetes, learn how to manage your blood sugar.
This is vitally important to reduce the risk of serious
complications, such as heart disease, blindness, kidney
failure, and lower-extremity amputations.
3. If you do not have diabetes, find out if you are at-risk.
Find out how you can reduce your risk factors, to prevent or
postpone a diagnosis.
4. Donate to the American Diabetes Association, directly or
sponsor someone in the Diabetes Walk or the Tour de Cure. Find

5. Maintain or obtain a healthy weight. If you have diabetes,
losing weight will improve your blood
sugar
control, and if you are risk, it reduces your likelihood of
becoming diabetic.
6. Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet will also help keep your
blood sugar stable and helps you maintain a healthy weight.
7. Exercise regularly. Exercise is very important in
controlling blood sugar and even preventing diabetes. Exercise

diabetes or not.
