Diabetes Today is a publication of the public relations consultancy PRMR Inc. It was conceptualized with the simple goal of assisting in the prevention and management of diabetes through education. The magazine has since evolved and now aims to be an advocate for the promotion and awareness of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and to assist in creating an environment that would attract much needed funding for continuing NCD research and enhance managed care.
