World Diabetes Day





I am glad they have chosen this theme. Despite WHO including insulin in the essential drugs list few years back the cost of this drug remains high and in many parts of the world children succumb because they can not afford therapy. Also while some of them may afford insulin, they can not possibly bear the cost of glucose monitoring systems required for diabetes. There should be some kind of control over the cost of the gadgets and disposables (like glucosticks and lancets) used in monitoring of blood glucose.
