Singapore has launched a new Sugar Smart Nation initiative to mark World Diabetes Day. The new movement ropes in companies to step up the fight against diabetes. Participating firms will partner Diabetes Singapore on lunchtime talks, screenings and wellness activities. There are currently seven firms on board, and organisers are eyeing three more before the 2026 launch. About 700,000 adults in Singapore now have diabetes — a figure projected to hit 1 million by 2050.
