World Diabetes Day 2009: a day & an eye-opener

Today, November 14 2009, the world celebrates World Diabetes Day. As though it may seem diabetes is not important, IT IS. There are already 285 million diabetics across the globe and counting. Everyday, one of about ten people is diagnosed with diabetes. It's not easy to accept the harsh truth when you're diagnosed with the said disease, especially when your life is flowing just right.

It is my first time to be fully aware of this day, and it has already become my FAVORITE day (aside from my birthday, Christmas, New Year, Nick Jonas' brithday & Summer days). Today, in all parts of the world, diabetics & non-diabetics unite as they help fight diabetes. Different events are held to further help them understand diabetes better.
