Governor Sonny Perdue
Declares Diabetes Control Week

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food in to energy needed for daily life. In a recent survey by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, it was found that more than 2 out of 3 people in Georgia with type 2 diabetes do not have their diabetes under control. Blood sugar levels that are higher than recommended target increase the risk of developing serious and life-threatening complications, including heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and loss of limb.

Significant progress has been made in the last few decades in the areas of research and diagnosis for diabetes, resulting in improved quality of life for individuals living with the disease. Meal planning, regular physical activity and if needed, medications are the cornerstones to achieving stability.

Governor Sonny Perdue has proclaimed November 21-25 as DIABETES CONTROL WEEK in Georgia.
