Diabetes
is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas fails to produce insulin or
the body has trouble processing the insulin the pancreas does produce. Whilst the disease can be managed those that
suffer from diabetes are at increased risk of developing a number of serious
health issues. It is estimated that the
number of people living with diabetes will rise to 535 million.
The
mission of the International Diabetes Federation is to promote diabetes care,
prevention and the development of a cure. World Diabetes Day is celebrated every year on
the 14th November. It brings
together millions of people across the world in order to promote the core aims
of the International Diabetes Federation and raise awareness.
