Qatar: Sweet Epidemic

From the creator

Every five seconds one person develops diabetes...every 10 seconds one person dies of diabetes...every 30 seconds a limb is lost to diabetes. In Qatar, some 215,000 people are living with the disease. The Government of Qatar has designated the month of November as the month of diabetes, hosting events nationwide to remind Qataris about the danger of developing the illness.
