June is LGBTQ month and like every year, this year too DDS comes forward to celebrate the Pride month with all of you. This year marks 51 years since LGBTQ Pride Month was first celebrated in June 1970*. We are proud to be a part of the month long celebration of love, diversity, acceptance and unashamed self-pride. Our team at DDS is diverse with people of all genders and we make our workplace safe and supportive of all genders. DDS strives to be an inclusive place for our employees and we celebrate that we live and work in Long Beach; a town that is supportive of LGBTQ Community and issues. 

In Long Beach, people of every sexual orientation and gender identity are welcome and given equal rights and opportunities. Long Beach community continues to lead on LGBTQ+ rights and have been named one of the best cities in the US, for LGBTQ+ inclusion for nine years consistently**.

Ebi regularly goes to a Presbyterian church that welcomes people of all genders and we surround ourselves with LGBTQ supporters. DDS has been a member and as a company we participate in the Long Beach Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. 

We all know friends and family who have diabetes; we have employees and co-workers who manage this difficult disease. At Delta Data Services, we want to support our community and promote a lifestyle that help people with Diabetes. Instead of that holiday party with treats and desserts, we want to plan a walk-a-thon. Instead of the donut breakfast, we want to plan a acai bowl breakfast. There are many things we can do to make our diabetic community feel supported and we at Delta Data Services want to be part of the solution. Fortunately, with November as National Diabetes Month, we can re-concentrate on the diabetes prevention and treatment impact more than 30 million people living in the United States. Diabetes is an epidemic.* The statistics are staggering with millions at risk. This is the month to educate yourself about it, its symptoms, how it affects a people, and know your risks.

At DDS, we all come together for Diabetes Awareness for early detection and intervention of this epidemic. Diabetes affects more people than we probably realize and an early diagnosis leads to early treatment and even prevention. This month we try to raise awareness about diabetes risk factors and encourage people to make healthy changes.

Although diabetes has no cure, here are some tips to help manage prediabetes and prevent diabetes.

➤ Cut sugar and refined carbs from your diet
➤ Workout everyday
➤ Drink more water
➤ Shed some pounds, if necessary
➤ Quit smoking and limit alcohol intake
➤ Portion sizes are key

➤ Eat a high-fiber diet & increase vitamin D levels

It is a good reminder for us to come out for support and motivation for friends and family members living with diabetes or are at risk for developing the disease, Being aware of the risk factors and symptoms of diabetes and sharing that with your loved ones could decrease the risk of someone developing diabetes. If you or someone that you know may be fighting with diabetes or pre-diabetes, please take action today and visit your doctor. They can help lead you down the path to a healthier lifestyle.
