2016 California Diabetes Awareness Month ~ Community Outreach Event ~ South Stockton, CA

Each year when November rolls around, people begin thinking about the common disease that affects around 30 million people in the United States and over 4 million people in California alone.

Diabetes affects people of all ages and causes many health concerns in the body. It is crucial people become more aware of this disease, risk factors towards becoming pre-diabetic and how to utilize a team approach to manage diabetes.

We close 2016 California Diabetes Awareness Month by introducing the Central Valley Diabetes Self-Management Program and sharing how our Victory Garden Project helps to provide fresh fruits and vegetables throughout underserved communities in the California Central Valley.
