On November 14, the world observed World Diabetes Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes, a chronic condition that impacts some 830 million people globally, according to World Health Organization estimates.
Organizers held events and campaigns yesterday, shining a light on prevention, early diagnosis and management strategies for a disease that’s on the rise.
With diabetes increasingly affecting communities everywhere, experts and advocates are calling on governments, businesses and individuals to step up efforts in education, access to care and innovative solutions that can turn the tide on this growing global crisis.
