Fantastic way to get the word out there, Hidden ! Thank you for sharing this with the group.

Focus is on women this year as many are not diagnosed or not treated adequately & also the incidences are increasing.

The hormonal protection which females have goes down once diabetes sets in..

Slogan for World Diabetes Day "Women and diabetes: Our right to a healthy future".

On World Diabetes Day 2017, WHO joins partners around the world to highlight women’s right to a healthy future. Around 8% of women – or 205 million women – live with diabetes worldwide, over half in South-East Asia and the Western Pacific. During pregnancy high blood glucose substantially increases the risk to health for both mother and child as well as the risk of diabetes for the child in the future. Almost half of women who die in low-income countries due to high blood glucose die prematurely, before the age of 70 years.

Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and lower limb amputation. Healthy diet, physical activity and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. In addition diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with medication, regular screening and treatment for complications.
