Abstract / Synopsis: 

November is once again being recognized as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month in an effort to educate the public on the effects of diabetes on vision, risk factors and treatment options.

November is once again being recognized as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month in an effort to educate the public on the effects of diabetes on vision, risk factors and treatment options.

Prevent Blindness recently launched a new, no-cost resource, the “Diabetes and the Eyes” educational toolkit. The resource includes downloadable fact sheets, shareable infographics for social media, and financial assistance resources to increase access to eye care. For healthcare professionals, community organizers, and more, an educator course is also available, including a PowerPoint presentation and script. These materials were made possible by funding from the Allergan Foundation.

For the second consecutive year, Oxurion NV is partnering with Prevent Blindness to raise awareness and provide education to the public.

 

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has broadened the topic, labeling November “Diabetes Awareness Month,” has updated its Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes for 2019, and is raising awareness via its “Count Me In” program. “Beyond Type 1” has noted World Diabetes Day (WDD) is celebrated globally on November 14 to raise awareness about both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This group has quote boards on Pinterest, educational posters about the systemic disease available for download, and fact cards.

These groups are not alone in promoting awareness...
