Want to know what's not in the headlines of any of the major or minor daily newspapers I scan every day? It's World Diabetes Day, as sponsored by the World Health Organization.
Today, as a non-pregnancy post, I would like to think fondly of everyone I know in the world with diabetes and all the thankless things they do to take care of their health. I would also *especially* like to draw attention to the growing number of diabetics who live in places where access to medication, insulin and blood glucose testing supplies are rare, very rare.
By now we all know that good glucose control is the key to living a long, healthy life with diabetes and without complications. It's a challenge for me, and I have access to every technology and trick in the book. To those who manage without multiple daily fingersticks and daily injections, I tip my hat to you.
Please take a minute to read more from the WHO about diabetes around the world. And thanks to the WHO for the use of their logo above.
