World Health
Day, 7 April 2016, focuses on
beating #diabetes through prevention, diagnosis, treatment
and care. Hundreds of millions of people around the world suffer from
diabetes. The first ever WHO "Global Report on Diabetes",
set to be released on 6 April 21.00 CET, will reveal a dramatic
rise in the number of people with #diabetes worldwide.
What is
diabetes? Diabetes is a chronic disease that
occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough of
the hormone that regulates blood sugar, called insulin, or
when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
Set-up your own local World Health Day event to spread awareness
and educate local schools organizations and clubs on #diabetes.
Perhaps even your local leaders? Register your event or find an event near you!
