Did you know that November 14 is World Diabetes Day? This day raises awareness about diabetes, promotes education, and reminds us of the importance of supporting everyone living with this condition.
🩵 What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body regulates blood sugar (glucose). Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose enter our cells to provide energy. When the body doesn't produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively, blood sugar levels can become too high.
There are different types of diabetes, including Type 1 and Type 2, and people of all ages can be affected.
Although World Diabetes Day is officially celebrated on November 14, tomorrow, November 13, we invite everyone at Canyon Creek Elementary to WEAR BLUE!
Let's fill our school with blue to raise awareness, show support, and stand together for everyone living with diabetes.
