World Diabetes day a special day to educate and raise Awareness of type 1 and preventing type 2. 💚

Good morning everyone,

Today is World Diabetes Day and its a special day as it's in the middle of Diabetes Awareness Month.

Todays theme is families and preventing type 2 diabetes in the first instance with education and awareness as many people do not realise they are type 2.

With growing obesity and those with pre-diabetes todays theme is very relevant to us a society as type 2 diabetes can lead to other serious health conditions including blindness and amputations.

We have a Pre-diabetes Topic and here's a link to World Diabetes Day and another to World Diabetes Month.

Please see:

With a sensible tweak to diet combined with adequate exercise we could eliminate or reduce type 2 drastically and in this modern world with global markets it should be a very do-able achievement, all we need is market forces to back it...

We literally are what we eat...

Hi Jerry

Thank you for sharing and I totally agree with you we need to be more mindful of what we eat and exercise as well if we are able. We definitely are what we eat for sure.

Also, what a beautiful photo, that's cheered me up on what has been a wet and cold day where I live.

Hi Jerry

I totally agree with you, Type 2 Diabetes was almost unknown a few years ago.

It's a beautiful photo and agree we are so very lucky. Enjoy every day and appreciate what's around us.
