Take Care of Your Sight! You may have heard that diabetes causes eye problems and can lead to blindness. It’s true that people with diabetes do have a higher risk of blindness than people without diabetes. The good news is that with annual checkups, you can keep minor eye problems minor, and if you do develop a major problem, there are treatments that often work well if you begin them right away. Make eye care part of your health routine!
May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month The Association is committed to placing a strong focus on populations that are disparately affected by diabetes, including Asian Americans, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. Millions of Americans are of Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander descent and are more likely than Caucasians to develop type 2 diabetes. And compared to other ethnic groups, some Asian Americans are at higher risk for diabetes at lower body weights, increasing the chance that prediabetes or diabetes may go undetected. During Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, learn more about how you can help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and manage the disease.
