HEALTH AWARENESS FOR NOVEMBER

November is National Diabetes Month
Diabetic eye disease, a leading cause of blindness, often has no early warning signs. That’s why it’s so important for people with diabetes to get regular eye exams to catch problems early — and get timely treatment and the right follow-up care.

 
More than 30 million people living in the United States have diabetes. Having diabetes increases the risk for vision loss and blindness from diabetic eye diseases. The most common diabetic eye disease is diabetic retinopathy, but people with diabetes are also at higher risk for diabetic macular edema (DME), cataract, and glaucoma.  
The longer a person has diabetes, the greater their risk of developing diabetic eye disease. But the good news is that early detection and treatment can lower the risk of blindness by 95%. And managing diabetes — with diet, exercise, and medication — is the best way for people with diabetes to lower the risk of vision loss.

    Over 37 million Americans have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and an additional 37 million adults have prediabetes.

Go Teal for Alzheimer’s Awareness Month!
November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, a time to heighten awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and show support for the more than 6.2 million Americans living with it. There are a number of quick and easy ways you can help raise awareness, show support, and fight Alzheimer’s disease!  Teal is the Alzheimer’s Awareness color of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA).  AFA uses teal because it has been shown in color psychology studies to be a calming color. This is helpful when designing and decorating spaces and events to be welcoming and comforting to those living with Alzheimer’s. So, next time you see someone dressed in teal, remember the more than 6 million people living with Alzheimer’s and the help they need.

November is National Family Caregivers Month.

There are over 11 million unpaid dementia caregivers in the U.S.

In 2023, unpaid caregivers provided an estimated 18.4 billion hours of care for people living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. 70% of dementia caregivers say that coordinating care is stressful, and 74% say they are concerned about maintaining their own health.

Caregivers, we see you. We recognize your time and effort. We also know that no one can do it alone. The Alzheimer's Association offers support and resources for caregivers, including education about the disease and ways to maintain your own well-being.

We’ve Come This Far By Faith

 
We’ve Come This Far By Faith,
Leaning On The Lord;
Trusting In His Holy Word,
He’s Never Failed Me Yet.
Oh, Oh- Oh- Can’t Turn Around,
We’ve Come This Far By Faith.

We’ve Come This Far By Faith,
Leaning On The Lord;
Trusting In His Holy Word,
He’s Never Failed Me Yet.
Oh, Oh- Oh- Can’t Turn Around,
We’ve Come This Far By Faith.

Don’t Be Discouraged With Troubles In Your Life.
He’ll Bear Your Burdens
And Move All Misery And Strife, That’s Why  

Oh! We’ve Come This Far By Faith,
Leaning On The Lord.
Trusting In His Holy Word,
He’s Never Failed Us Yet.
Oh, Oh- Oh- Can’t Turn Around,
We’ve Come This Far By Faith.

Just the other day I heard a man say he didn’t believe in God’s Word; I can say God has made a way,
He’s never failed me yet. Thank God, We’ve Come This Far By Faith.
