November is American Diabetes Months and the Association is collaborating with food banks across Kentucky to educate their shoppers about diabetes, including risks, prevention, and healthier eating. The American Diabetes Association is collaborating with Passport Health Plan in this endeavor to reach and educate people about diabetes. Tamara Sandberg, Executive Director of Kentucky Association of Food Banks, said a lack of consistent access to nutritious food leads to people experiencing food insecurity facing the highest risk for long-term health conditions such as diabetes. She added 41% of households served by food banks in Kentucky have at least one member with diabetes. Educational flyers will be distributed each week throughout the month that focus on diabetes prevention and management.
