World Diabetes Day falls on 14th November ever year. All around the world are celebrating the day with activities such as forum, exhibitions, walkathon, blood glucose screening, with aim to inform the public on diabetes complication.
This year, Diabetes Malaysia will launch the World Diabetes Day on 17th December 2013 in Kuching, Sarawak. Hope, Malaysians or others will celebrate this day with activities that benefit the society at large.
In Malaysia too, the World Diabetes Day is also being celebrated by Malaysian Endocrine and Metabolic Society (MEMS). This society is organizing a walkathon on 10th of November 2013 in Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur with 5km/7km/10km walk.
The message from the MEMS President:
" cornerstone for diabetes control remains lifestyle modifications. Increasing physical activity through regular exercise together with controlled energy intake and low processed carbohydrate diet help to establish control of blood glucose levels and prevent weight gain."
If I may add, the key words (to be understood and acted upon) :
