Abstract: The statistics are staggering, but just about one in every ten Americans has diabetes, and a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that nearly half of the U.S. population is now diabetic or pre-diabetic. People living with this disease will be the first to tell you just how much diabetes alters everyday life. Whether it be embarking upon a new diet or frequently checking blood glucose levels, managing diabetes is a full-time job with no chance of vacation. This November, we’re in the midst of Diabetes Awareness Month - an important time for all of clinicians involved in the care of patients with diabetes to empathize with those friends and loved ones who live with diabetes. It’s also a critical time for community members living with diabetes to better understand their disease and one of its more life-altering complications.
