So, today is the World Health Day, according to the World Health Organization(WHO) and this year’s theme is ‘Diabetes’. The disease is certainly nothing new to anyone in Pakistan. Many of you know of it as ‘sugar’, as it is colloquially referred to as. Some of you may even know of someone close suffering from it, while others may even be going through it.
