Why Education & Awareness Matter
Early Action Saves Lives
Many people live with diabetes or prediabetes without knowing it. Increased awareness helps individuals recognise warning signs early and seek timely care.
Prevention Is Possible

Better Self-Management
For those already living with diabetes, proper education improves:
