Hi Friend,  Women are often the caregivers, advocates, and steady support systems for their families and communities, so this National Women’s Health Month, let’s do something for them. Women face unique diabetes-related health risks. Women diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before age 30 or type 2 diabetes between 30–39 years are at a higher risk of going through menopause at younger ages compared with similar women who do not have diabetes. This is concerning due to the many health risks that arise for women after menopause, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and other health issues—all of which may further complicate diabetes management. For women who become pregnant, gestational diabetes (GDM)—diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy—can affect both mothers and babies, and about 50% of women with GDM go on to develop type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association® is working to improve awareness, further research, and expand support for women and their unique diabetes-related risks at every stage of life.
