14 November 2015
On 14 November 2015, we join the rest of the international community in commemorating World Diabetes Day under the theme: “Healthy living and diabetes”. The theme highlights the importance of healthy diets and adoption of healthy lifestyles to prevent or manage type 2 diabetes which is a complex disease that is largely the result of excess body weight and physical inactivity.
