North Eastern Diabetes Society (NEDS), is an association related to diabetes that has been actively working hard for the last 24 years since its inception in uplifting the knowledge and level of care for diabetes in this region.

Prof. Nam H. Cho, President of the International Diabetes Federation said: “Families have a significant role to play in supporting loved ones with diabetes, but they need help on how best to cope with the financial and emotional pressures that a diabetes diagnosis can bring. While families are often a great comfort to many of us during our times of need, people living with diabetes have told us that a diagnosis can create anxiety and cause additional stress that many find it difficult to cope with, Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness, heart attack, kidney failure, and limb loss, so when a family member is diagnosed it can be a very frightening time. It is therefore vital that healthcare providers and governments increase their efforts to ensure better access to treatment and education for all families affected.”
