Nov 14th is the World Diabetes Day!
I invite you to join me to come together to raise awareness about diabetes and to take action to prevent and manage this chronic condition.
Diabetes is a global epidemic, affecting over 530 million people worldwide. It is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and lower limb amputation. And it’s killing almost 7 million people every year (I not only know what these numbers mean, but I sadly know also what they feel because my 2 grand-fathers passed away because of Diabetes).
Whether you have Diabetes or not, everyone’s support for raising awareness about Diabetes is needed.
If you'd like to show your support, here are 2 quick things you could do:
1- To change your profile picture (just for the month of November) by downloading this logo I have created specifically for this day.
2- To Like and Share this video as much as you can through your different social networks.
On this World Diabetes Day, I encourage everyone to learn more about diabetes and to take action to prevent and manage this condition by:
1. Making healthy lifestyle choices, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight, we can reduce our risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
2. For people who already have diabetes, there are many effective treatments available to help them manage their condition and prevent complications.
3. Getting screened, especially if you are at risk for diabetes. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing complications.
4. Educating yourself about diabetes because the more you know about diabetes, the better equipped you will be to manage your condition or support someone who does.
5. Getting involved in your community through associations that are in the fight against diabetes. You can volunteer your time, donate to a diabetes charity, or advocate for diabetes awareness and research.
