In October, Mayor Hiremath proclaimed November as American Diabetes Month. At the last Council Meeting, the Mayor read the proclamation. Oro Valley is a healthy community. With its miles of multiuse paths and its Aquatics Center, Oro Valley is a great place to walk, bike and swim. Exercise helps with the control and prevention of diabetes. It is important for all of us in Oro Valley to be aware of diabetes and do our part to Stop Diabetes.
American Diabetes Month is a time to come together as a community to Stop Diabetes. It is a time to communicate the seriousness of diabetes and the importance of diabetes prevention and control. For years, the American Diabetes Association has used this month as an opportunity to raise awareness of the disease and its serious complications and its impact on people living Diabetes.
Arizonans are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as nearly 500,000 of our local family and friends suffer from the disease. This means that one out of every nine Arizonans is affected by diabetes. Thousands more may have diabetes and not yet know it!
