Description

Diabetes is a medical condition that affects an estimated 34.2 million people globally, with more than 1.5 million deaths recorded in 2019. With such numbing numbers, it is essential to put measures that encourage or educate people on the importance of diabetes management. These measures are critical because they raise awareness, thus helping diabetic patients and society, in general, to plan or lead healthy lifestyles that keep diabetes at bay.

Diabetes requires round-the-clock management as a failure to do so may damage body organs such as kidneys, and in severe circumstances, death may occur. The goal of diabetes management is to avoid acute to severe decompensation, decrease mortality, facilitate a comfortable life, and delay or minimize the likelihood of suffering from late disease complications. The following is a breakdown of the goals as mentioned above.
