November is National Diabetes Month — a time when communities across the country team up to bring attention to diabetes. This year’s focus is on prediabetes and preventing diabetes. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 U.S. adults (88 million people) have prediabetes, but the majority of people don’t know they have it.

Theme: #CaregivingInCrisis
During National Family Caregivers Month, we address the new realities caregivers face with their loved ones during these uncertain times.

The pandemic has brought even more challenges as family caregivers manage caregiving in crisis.
