The World Diabetes Day, on 14th November every year, is about promoting and improving human health, and providing access to treatment and health-care education. The theme until 2023 is ‘Access to Diabetes Care’.

Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and lower limb amputation.

Healthy diet, physical activity and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. In addition diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with medication, regular screening and treatment for complications.
