Tomorrow is World Diabetes Day and the first time this day has been acknowledged by the United Nations. This year, the campaign focuses on Diabetes in Children and Adolescents. With symptoms going undiagnosed and a lack of medication (economy, geography, or supply), many children around the world die of this disease. Diabetes is more than just sugar: it has significant impacts socially and on health status as a whole, impacting the eyes, heart, kidneys and nervous system.
weird that I didn't know about this!
