World Diabetes Day, on the 14th November every year, has grown from humble beginnings to become a globally-celebrated event to increase awareness about diabetes.
Comprising hundreds of campaigns, activities, screenings, lecture,
meetings and more, World Diabetes Day is proving internationally
effective in spreading the message about diabetes and raising awareness
for the condition.
The theme of World Diabetes Day, from 2014 to 2016 will be healthy
living and diabetes and this year, there’s a focus on starting each day
right by having a healthy breakfast.
A healthy breakfast should help blood sugar levels from
getting too high and should keep you full through the morning. Whilst
cereal and toast may be cheap, these options typically raise blood sugar
levels rapidly and may leave you hungry again before lunch.
If you drink fruit juice for breakfast, consider cutting the juice out or having a smaller glass of it. For reference, a 150ml glass of unsweetened orange juice contains around 15g of carbohydrate and 13g of sugar.
