Across the world more than 420 million people are living with diabetes. Two thirds of these have not yet been diagnosed. When discovered late or managed incorrectly, diabetes can damage your heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves, leading to disability and premature death. In fact, more people are dying of diabetes related diseases than of diseases as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

TOP REVIEWS FROM DIABETES – THE ESSENTIAL FACTS
I learned a lot. This course tackles diabetes from different perspectives but the material was tailored in a way that it was very easy to understand. More power!
This is very important course for future.I learned more imfromation about diebetes factors we should know.how to control and prevention diebetes proper manner.
Very informational , yet at times the speakers were dry and not very interesting to listen too. which sometimes made it extra hard to actually retain the material. Loved that last assignment.
Very useful course , making us realise how gradually and progessivley diabetes prevalence is increasing, and teaches us the fundamental ways to almost eradicate diabetes.
