HELP US STOP DIABETES® IN OUR COMMUNITY
During Hispanic Heritage Month, Nordstrom and the American Diabetes Association encourage families to discuss any family history of diabetes, a conversation that could help Stop Diabetes®before it starts.
Find out if you’re at risk for developing type 2 diabetes by taking a quick risk test and Nordstrom will make a $5 donation to the American Diabetes Association up to $75,000. Proceeds will benefit Ferias de Salud Por Tu Familia, part of the Association’s diabetes prevention and education programs.
Diabetes is a serious disease that affects nearly 1 in 2 Latinos and Hispanics. Many more don’t know they have it, making this a pressing health problem in our community. But together we can make a difference.
Living Well | CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
David Chavez – Kansas City, Kansas
I want to stop diabetes because it’s a horrendous disease that’s disproportionately affecting Latino communities across America.
My mother has lived with diabetes for the past 10 years, and I have watched her manage it with the proper regimen and diet. I admire her determination to beat diabetes and live as normal a life as possible. Sometimes I wonder if I could have her strength and will, and if I am next, as the disease moves through families.
Additionally, I worry about my six children, especially knowing the statistics of diabetes in today’s youth. I’m committed to doing all I can personally and professionally to fight diabetes. Stop Diabetes® is more than a slogan—it’s the freedom of the Hispanic community to prosper and grow to contribute to the American dream. It’s all I want for mi familia!
To take a quick risk test, go to Stop Diabetes®.
