Diabetes Awareness Month: Blood Pressure Monitors to Check in With

November is national Diabetes Awareness Month, making it the ideal time to spread awareness, increase funding, and support those who deal with it. 

The 2020 National Diabetes Statistics Report key findings state that 34.2 million Americans—just over 1 in 10—have diabetes. It also found that 88 million American adults—approximately 1 in 3—have prediabetes. More people are developing type 1 and type 2 diabetes during youth. On the flipside, the proportion of older people in our nation is increasing and older people are more likely to have diabetes. So even if you know you don’t have diabetes, chances are you know someone who does.

Self-Monitoring with Omron

Whether or not someone’s living with diabetes, they have the right to live a healthy, happy, and productive life. Although there is no cure for diabetes, there are ways to manage it. Home blood pressure monitoring is key to preventing diabetes, as well as heart disease and stroke. Help your customers take care of themselves and take control of their health with Omron’s self-monitoring tools. Omron makes sure the blood pressure monitors they manufacture are portable and easy to use. They are also recommended by doctors for providing accurate results.

Omron manufactures a variety of blood pressure monitors that are ideal for helping your customers keep themselves in check.
