November 4 = World Diabetes Day

Over 8% of the German population already suffers from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Worldwide, it is estimated that up to 240 million people are affected. 

And anyone who knows anything about this insidious disease, or even suffers from it themselves, knows why I consider diabetes a public enemy. Secondary diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, blindness, and limb amputations are inevitable after a specific period.
