World Diabetes Day to be observed today
Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Dr ML Malviya informed that November 14 will be celebrated every year as World Diabetes Day. He said about the disease that it can be described as a medical condition that results in an increase in glucose levels in the blood. It happens when a person’s pancreas is either unable to produce sufficient amounts of insulin or the insulin produced does not functioning properly.
But, with better lifestyle and diet, you can control the disease. Diabetes is heredity disease, if mother suffers diabetes during pregnancy than child born will have probability of having diabetes and if child born with weight more than 3.5 kilogram will have chances of diabetes.
