Visakhapatnam: Mere awareness and alertness in administration always keep diabetes at bay, observed Additional Joint Collector D V Reddy.
Before flagging off a health rally organised by the District Medical and Health Department on the Beach Road on Thursday on the occasion of World Health Day, Reddy informed that it was decided to focus mainly on educating public and treatment of diabetes this year.
Stating that those suffering from diabetes must follow the health tips like doing physical exercise, regular walking and to follow dietary advice, he felt that everybody must have a clear knowledge of the disease. District Medical and Health Officer Dr J Sarojini said it will be always better to observe preventive measures rather than undergoing treatment when once affected with diabetes.
