National Diabetes Education Week - November 2–8, 2026Knowledge Is Prevention. Education Is Empowerment. Healthier Communities Begin With Us.During National Diabetes Education Week, Osage Nation Health System (ONHS) is raising awareness about diabetes prevention, early detection, and management, with a special focus on the health and well-being of Native American communities.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Indian and Alaska Native adults experience some of the highest rates of diagnosed diabetes in the United States.Diabetes continues to disproportionately affect Native communities, making education, prevention, and access to quality healthcare critical to improving health outcomes.*Small Steps Can Make a Big Difference!-Know Your Numbers: Regular blood sugar screenings and A1C testing can help identify prediabetes and diabetes early.-Make Healthier Food Choices: Balanced meals, nutritious foods, and reducing added sugars can help support blood sugar management.-Stay Active: Walking, dancing, gardening, and other physical activities can help improve overall health.-Know Your Family History: Understanding your risk factors can help you take preventive action.-Take Charge of Your Health: Regular medical visits, medication management, and diabetes education can help prevent complications.Stronger Native Communities. Healthier Future Generations.The impact of diabetes in Native communities is significant, but it does not have to determine our future. By increasing awareness, improving access to care, and empowering individuals with the knowledge and resources to manage their health, we can work toward reducing diabetes-related health disparities.At Osage Nation Health System, we are committed to improving health outcomes and ensuring our people have the resources, education, and support needed to live healthier lives.#NationalDiabetesEducationWeek #diabetesawareness #NativeHealth #DiabetesPrevention #OsageNationHealthSystem #HealthierGenerations
