Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in Brunei Darussalam, serving as a reminder of its impact and why it should be kept under control.
The World Diabetes Day is marked not only for awareness but also a call for action. It is an opportunity to renew commitment for diabetes prevention, early detection or diagnosis, and provide the best treatment.
Acting Specialist (Endocrine) at Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital Dr Shazwani binti Haji Mat Salleh said this during the World Diabetes Day event at The Mall in Gadong on Sunday.
