November is National Diabetes Awareness Month 

Diabetes Resources for Women

The FDA Office of Women’s Health (OWH) has free resources to help women with diabetes manage their condition. The Women and Diabetes webpage highlights videos, easy-to-read publications, and other resources that can be used in clinical services, support groups or self-management. The webpage also features OWH’s diabetes booklet series on Diabetes Medicines, Insulin, and Glucose Meters. These booklets list FDA-approved medicines, give questions to ask the health care provider, and highlight tips for the safe use of FDA-approved diabetes medicines and medical devices.
