World Diabetes Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about diabetes as a critical global public health issue and emphasize the collective and individual actions needed to improve the prevention, diagnosis and management of the condition.
This year’s theme, “Breaking Barriers, Bridging Gaps,” underpins WHO's commitment to reducing the risk of diabetes, and ensuring that all people who are diagnosed with diabetes have access to equitable, comprehensive, affordable and quality treatment and care.
I think every country needs a national policy for the prevention, treatment and care of diabetes.
Also, I believe every home should have and know how to use a glucometer and sphygmomanometer for monitoring sugar level and blood pressure respectively.
