November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Diabetes is the name given to disorders in which the body has trouble regulating its blood-glucose, or blood-sugar, levels. It's important to know that by making small healthy lifestyle changes, it is possible to prevent type 2 diabetes and even reverse pre-diabetes.

With an increase in pedestrians, especially those of shorter stature, it’s essential that all drivers exercise increased caution. Driving at slower than posted speeds, limiting distractions and avoiding passing other cars stopped in the street are just a few tips to ensure you and those around you have a safe and fun Halloween.

Although it is rare, men also can get breast cancer. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancerous and can spread to other areas. Similar to women, male breast cancer forms in the man’s breast tissues. Early detection is key.

Today is National Mammography Day! Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early. Mammograms for women after the age of 40 are generally covered by most insurances – ours included. Don’t forget: Post your #WearPink pictures on Yammer. Every little bit helps to raise awareness.

Throughout October – we continue to provide you with tips and/or opportunities which can help raise awareness of breast cancer. Exercising regularly can reduce your risk of breast cancer and improve your mental health and mood.

The health and safety of our employees, passengers and the communities we serve continues to be our top priority. Over the next two months, we will be highlighting Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (Movember in November) and Diabetes Awareness Month (November).
