(WARNING: contains nasty-looking picture of foot 😱)
Scooters and cars pass by it every day. Some don’t even notice it.
Others turn their head briefly to look at the billboard planted between palm trees on the main road leading in and out of the town of Avarua, capital of the Cook Islands.
The yellow and black hoarding shows the bottom of a foot. Four of the toes have a much darker colour then the rest.
The disease is called peripheral vascular disease and is one of the many side effects of diabetes.
The sign is just one of many put up by the Cook Islands Ministry of Health as part of a campaign seeking to make people aware of diabetes.
