Beat Diabetes



Beat #diabetes on World Health Day, 7 April 2016




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. 



Get involved!
