World Diabetes Day 2023: Types, causes and precaution to avoid this chronic disease


World Diabetes Day is observed on November 14 every year to spread awareness about the health condition that affects millions of people across the world. It is a global observance day aimed at highlighting and supporting all efforts towards containing this disease.

Diabetes is a condition that occurs when the blood sugar level gets too high. It is generally developed when the pancreas doesn’t create enough insulin or any at all, or when the body isn’t responding to the effects of insulin properly. Diabetes can affect people of all ages. Most forms of diabetes are chronic and last for a long while most of such forms are manageable with medications and lifestyle changes.
