Diabetes is one of the dangerous health diseases. It is the chronic disease, which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. By keeping healthy diet and physical activity people can prevent themselves from this health problem.
World Diabetes Day is a significant reminder to the all humanity that the prevalence of the disease is steadily increasing.
