Showcasing almost every aspect of diabetes through posters, pictures and infographcis, the Diafest 2015 is not just for the diabetic patient.

The event is being organised by the Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) at Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium. The focus of the five-day exhibition that began on Friday is prevention. “Prevention not through medicines, but with the right kind of diet and exercise,” said physician Dr. Shyamala Menon, convener of the exhibition.

On Tuesday, a valedictory function will be held at the venue at 6 p.m.
