Diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, is a chronic disease where the body either doesn't produce enough insulin (a hormone that helps glucose enter cells) or doesn't use insulin effectively due to insulin resistance. It is one of the most unnerving diseases in the world, with nearly 600 million victims of it. As of 2025, an estimated 589 million adults are living with diabetes worldwide, representing 1 in 9 adults aged 20-79 years, according to the 11th edition of the IDF Diabetes [...]

As coastal areas become more developed, beaches are being squeezed from both sides, placing immense stress on these natural environments. This threat not only endangers the wildlife that relies on sandy shores but also harms local economies that depend on fishing and tourism. Moreover, coastal communities face a heightened risk of flooding as their [...]
