'Empowering Global Health' is the theme of this year’s Diabetes Day. Countless people in the world get affected to this deadly lifestyle disease. Wrong eating habits, lack of exercise, stress, and hereditary are some of the main causes of diabetes. It is alarming to see this lifestyle disease in little children. Junk food in take, gluing to TV for long hours by being a couch potato, also causes type 2 diabetes. We must make sure that people get access to medical care easily. Children, especially, must be introduced to outdoor activities to keep the disease at bay. Adults must also indulge in physical exercises. More awareness is required at school level, as children have better knowledge and are equipped superiorly to deal with this life-threatening disease.
