“More often than not, we take our body and health for granted and believe that nothing can go wrong. And then when you realize you were wrong, it could be really late. Most of the people don’t know that around 40 lakh people have lost their eyesight due to diabetes. ‘Eyebetes’ is a wonderful initiative creating awareness about this issue.”

"We all must know someone who is diabetic. But maybe that person doesn't know that diabetes causes blindness. So please help your friend and family who are diabetic to go and see a doctor and help them prevent blindness. Because diabetes blinds."

"Diabetes can cause lots of health issues. It can also cause blindness. One must get their eyes examined regularly and also get diabetes checked."
