It's Diabetes Awareness Month

It's Diabetes Awareness Month, and APMA has launched its annual public education campaign, including materials that are free to members to use in promoting their practices and educating their patients!

The campaign, Playing the Long Game with Diabetes, underscores the importance of creating healthy habits early on and focusing on foot health throughout the diabetes journey to avoid life- and limb-threatening complications. Visit www.apma.org/diabetes to download materials from the member toolkit:

• graphics for social media
• suggested social media posts
• a tip sheet, and more

Be sure to post about Diabetes Awareness Month on your social media channels; you can use the hashtag #PlayingtheLongGame and tag APMA. APMA is also conducting a digital advertising campaign, issuing a nationally distributed press release, conducting media relations, and working with an Instagram/TikTok influencer with Type 1 diabetes to disseminate content this month.

Remember that, as always, the materials will be available at www.apma.org/diabetes year-round.
