💙 Calp lights up blue for World Diabetes Day.
11 November
💡 Tomorrow, Saturday, November 14, is World Diabetes Day.
To mark the occasion, Calp Town Council will light up several public buildings in blue to help raise awareness about this disease.
🩺 Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
Many cases of type 2 diabetes and its complications can be prevented through a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight, and avoiding tobacco use.
🗓️ The date commemorates the birth of Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin alongside Charles Best in 1922.
