As we begin a new month, the DPS #170 Wellness Committee is turning our attention to November's wellness focus: Diabetes Awareness!
Diabetes affects individuals and families of all ages, and understanding the different types, recognizing potential symptoms, and knowing when to seek medical attention are important steps in supporting our overall health.
This week, we are sharing a helpful resource from the Partnership for a Healthy Lee County (PHLC) and the Lee County Health Department that highlights the three main types of diabetes and some common warning signs, including increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss.
We encourage everyone to take a moment to review the attached graphic and share this information with others. Recognizing symptoms early and connecting with a healthcare provider can make an important difference.
Thank you to our community partners for helping us continue to promote health and wellness throughout Dixon Public Schools!
