Abstract
The present article was written under the pretext of World Health Day 2016 to attract the attention of society and health policy makers toward this issue. Due to the importance of this issue, WHO is marking World Health Day, April 7th, by calling for action on beating diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and, over time, leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels (1). In 2014, 8.5% of adults aged 18 years and older had diabetes. In 2012, diabetes was reported to be the direct cause of 1.5 million deaths and high blood glucose was the cause of another 2.2 million deaths (2).
