John –

96,844 adults, or 12% of people in Delaware, have been diagnosed with diabetes – and another 24,000 people in Delaware are living with diabetes and don’t even know it. 

For people living with this life-altering disease, diabetes can not only take years off of their lives, but it can also drastically affect the day-to-day health of people in our community.

This World Diabetes Day, I’d like to talk about the importance of addressing such a critical issue.

Tackling, treating, and preventing diabetes doesn’t just happen – it takes key investments into our healthcare system, funding education about risk factors, and making sure our communities have plenty of support for outdoor recreation and activities to keep people moving.

That takes electing leaders who will put people’s health first. 

I was a nurse and a public health advocate long before I was working in elected office – tackling issues like diabetes and the health and wellness of my community was why I ran for office in the first place. 

I can promise you: As Delaware's next Governor, I am going to do everything I can to keep people healthy – can you help me get there by chipping in today?

Building a happier, healthier Delaware is what this campaign is all about. On this World Diabetes Day, please make sure you read up on diabetes, how you can prevent it, and the signs that you need to talk to your healthcare provider by clicking here → 

Then, I hope you’ll consider chipping into this campaign so we can build a better future for our state!

Thanks for everything you do, 
Team Bethany Hall-Long
