When is National Diabetes Awareness Month celebrated?

January
April
September
November

The correct answer is: November

National Diabetes Awareness Month is celebrated in November, which is a time dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes, its risk factors, and the importance of early detection and management. This month helps to educate the public about diabetes, provides resources for those affected, and encourages changes in lifestyle and habits that can prevent or manage the disease effectively. November overlaps with World Diabetes Day on November 14, a significant event that highlights diabetes issues worldwide. The focus on diabetes during this month aids in mobilizing support for better research, healthcare initiatives, and personal responsibility in sugar and carbohydrate management. The other months listed do not have the same emphasis on diabetes awareness and do not generally include associated campaigns or events dedicated to this condition.
