Diabetes has its day on stage

A boy who was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 5 is living a comfortable life well into old age, because he follows doctors' suggestions on medications, diet and exercise.

The story is a fictional drama but based on real-life, presented by an innovative hospital in Beijing last week.

To raise public awareness of diabetes control a day before International Diabetes Day (Nov 14), the drama was created and staged at China-Japan Friendship Hospital by its medical staff members and diabetes patients.
