  1. World diabetes day
    Diabetes, that can affect people at all life stages, is a chronic disease caused by insufficient or ineffective insulin and leads to high blood sugar which over time damages the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

    Type 2 diabetes, the most common, occurs when the body resists insulin or produces too little of it, while type 1 diabetes results from minimal or no insulin production. Currently, around 589 million adults worldwide (1 in 9) have diabetes, with most cases in low- and middle-income countries. Prevention, early diagnosis and affordable insulin, are crucial to reducing the global impact of diabetes.
