📊 40.1 MILLION AMERICANS & 258,000 KANSANS.

That's how many people are estimated to be living with diabetes.

That's approximately 1 in 8 Americans!
And more than 1 in 4 adults living with diabetes don't even know they have it.

These aren't just statistics. They're our neighbors, coworkers, family members, friends, and maybe even YOU.

Do you know the early warning signs?

Common symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes can include:

💙 Frequent urination
💙 Increased thirst
💙 Feeling hungry, even after eating
💙 Extreme fatigue
💙 Blurry vision
💙 Cuts or bruises that are slow to heal
💙 Unexplained weight loss, even though you are eating more (often associated with type 1)
💙 Tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands or feet (often associated with type 2)

Some people with diabetes have no noticeable symptoms at all, making routine screening especially important!

Awareness matters. Early detection matters. Access to care matters! 💙

This month, we're talking about ALL of it. The challenges, the breakthroughs, the misconceptions, the victories. And the incredible things that happen when a community comes together!

Let's start with YOU!

Halloween is scary enough without having to guess how many carbs are in that fun-sized Snickers!

Whether you're trick-or-treating, handing out candy, or conducting a very important quality control inspection of the candy bowl (we won't tell 😉), living with diabetes doesn't mean missing out on the fun!

🍫 Candy? Yes, please.
🍬 Knowing your carbs? Even better!
🎃 Enjoying Halloween without the guilt? ABSOLUTELY!

We've included a handy Halloween candy carb-counting guide to help take some of the guesswork out of your favorite treats!

Because at Great Plains Diabetes, we believe in LIVING WELL with diabetes...and sometimes that includes a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! 🧡

👻 Now tell us: What's the ONE Halloween candy you're digging through the bowl to find tonight? 👇

Have a very happy and safe Halloween from Great Plains Diabetes! 🎃💙
