It is indeed my pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of the Nepal Diabetes Society, to this newly created website. We are especially happy to launch this on the United Nations World Diabetes Day, 14th November.

There has been a rapid growth in onset of diabetes in Nepal in recent times. Dietary changes, obesity, sedentary life styles, and other environmental factors are contributing to onset of diabetes, as well as one of the leading causes of deaths and debility in our society.

We are extremely excited by the prospect of providing accurate and timely information from medical and non-medical persons on various aspects of diabetes in the context of Nepal in simple language to people all over the country through this website.

I am grateful to the group of young Nepalis living in the USA, who have so kindly helped us construct this website. On behalf of the Society I extend my sincere appreciation to them.

I welcome all of you to regularly visit this site for our ongoing activities. Please feel free to provide valuable suggestions as well.
