WORLD DIABETES DAY- Act on it. NOW

How many of you know the significance of making world a place of awareness? Diabetes, now a very dangerous and a life long disease where a patient suffers from high levels of sugar in blood. If not diagnosed early, people will be very sick and beyond any repair. 

Symptoms

High blood sugar levels can cause several symptoms, including:
  • Blurry vision
  • Excess thirst
  • Frequent urination
  • Hunger
  • Weight loss
    World Diabetes Day is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community. While the themed campaigns last the whole year, the day itself is celebrated on November 14, to mark the birthday of Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea which led to the discovery of insulin in 1922.
    Diabetes Education and Prevention is the World Diabetes Day theme for the period 2009-2013. The campaign slogan for 2010 is 'Let's take control of diabetes. Now.'

    Make a difference now by taking  regular checks of your loved ones and spread awareness among all...
