Looking Ahead: November is Diabetes Awareness Month
Looking Ahead: November is Diabetes Awareness Month
By Harlee Palmer, PA
As October wraps up, we’re turning the page to a new month and a new focus on wellness. November is Diabetes Awareness Month, a time to learn more about how nutrition, lifestyle, and mindful choices can help prevent, manage, and even reverse the progression of diabetes.
At Thrive, we believe education and prevention go hand in hand. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing insights, recipes, and evidence-based strategies to help you better understand blood sugar regulation and take proactive steps toward vibrant health.
Understanding Blood Sugar & Beta Cell Function
In this week’s Motivation, Harlee Palmer, PA, highlights new research on how dietary interventions can influence blood sugar control and beta cell function, the cells in the pancreas responsible for producing insulin.
The study demonstrates that simple, sustainable changes in daily eating patterns can make a meaningful difference. Balanced meals rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats help reduce blood sugar spikes, improve insulin sensitivity, and support long-term metabolic health.
These findings reinforce what we see every day in our practice: when you nourish your body with the right foods, you empower it to heal, balance, and thrive.
A Month of Education & Empowerment
Throughout November, Thrive will share:
- Practical nutrition tips for balancing blood sugar
- Simple lifestyle shifts to reduce insulin resistance
- Evidence-based supplement recommendations
- Inspiring patient success stories
Our goal: to help you understand your body’s unique needs and give you the tools to take control of your health, naturally and holistically.
Stay tuned each week as we dive deeper into the science of metabolic wellness and explore how small changes can lead to big transformations.
