November is here and this is the month where much emphasis is placed on the awareness and prevention of diabetes, the dreaded disease which affects a significant number of the population either directly or indirectly.
That is the key message coming out of the Launch of the Diabetes Awareness month organized by the St. Lucia Diabetes and Hypertension Association (SLDHA).
According to Dr. Shana Cyr, who represented the Ministry of Health, this disease is a global problem affecting approximately 6% of the world population and no effort must be spared in reducing the number of cases here in St. Lucia.
