Awareness Campaign on Diabetes Prevention in conjunction with World Diabetes Day 2016

Diabetes Malaysia Terengganu Branch (with cooperation of JKKK Kg Gong Lingai dan Kayuh Bike Club) has initiated a few activities to celebrate the annual World Diabetes Day 2016 (which fall in November) on Friday morning of 25th November 2016. The activities are: information dissemination, counselling, health screening, measuring body mass index, and diabetes awareness social survey.

These activities are conducted in a nice public hall in Kg Gong Lingai, Kuala Nerus, about 25 km north of  Kuala Terengganu city centre.

Around 62 persons involved in the social survey, 62 persons involved in the health screening and some are accordingly advised by team of health professional such as doctor, dietitians and diabetes educator.

Around 200 persons including the bikers, kampung folks packed the hall and areas around the hall to listen to the small talk on diabetes prevention and of course eager to know who are lucky ones who are chosen in the lucky draw (hampers).

Health screening is a success whereby our dietitians and diabetes educators checked their blood glucose and blood pressure and advised accordingly. Their BMI are calculated. What the ladies like most is the weighing machine which can tell your biological age.

Information leaflets are circulated to the participants. Big posters on food and diet are up for the public to read and learn.

At the end of the program, the participants are served with fried beehoon noodle,  fish crackers and easy flow of tea at 11.00 am. Twenty hampers are given to the lucky ones.

Below are nice pictures taken during the event.

Monsoon Trail Ride Sempena Sambutan Hari Diabetes Sedunia 2016 Terengganu

Diabetes Malaysia Cawangan Terengganu dengan kerjasama Kayoh Bike Club dan JKKK Kg Gong Lingai (Kuala Nerus) telah mengadakan acara "Monsoon Trail Ride" sempena Sambutan Hari Diabetes Sedunia 2016 pada 25 November 2016 bertempat di Dataran Lingai, Kuala Nerus.

Monsoon Trail Ride ini disertai lebih dari 152 peserta dari pelbagai kumpulan. Acara bermula pada 8.30 pagi dengan pelepasan dibuat oleh YM Dato Tengku Faruk, Pegawai Daerah Kuala Nerus. Peserta juga terdiri dari pelbagai kumpulan umur dengan basikal yang memang mahal-mahal belaka. Trek laluan ialah 20 km yang melintasi kawasan berbukit, ladang kelapa sawit dan pertanian. Trek ini adalah trek yang telah digunakan di dalam acara jamboree.

Selepas satu setengah jam (1.5 jam) berkayuh, semua peserta sudah selamat tiba di garis penamat.

Acara ini adalah sebahagian dari acara Sambutan Hari Diabetes Sedunia 2016 peringkat Negeri Terengganu yang dianjurkan oleh Diabetes Malaysia Cawangan Terengganu.

Biasanya acara yang dilaksanakan oleh Diabetes Malaysia dalam upacara outdoor sambutan ialah senamrobik, berjalan 10,000 step, jogathon dan sebagainya. Tetapi di Terengganu, kami telah memilih cycling sebagai acara outdoor.

Seperti yang telah diketahui umum, senaman boleh membantu kita di dalam mencegah penyakit dan aktiviti fizikal seperti kayuh basikal akan memantau pengawalan paras gula dalam badan. DMCT bersetuju agar aktiviti berbasikal diamalkan oleh semua rakyat Malaysia yang mampu bagi membakar kalori yang berlebihan dan menjadikan mereka sentiasa sihat dan aktif.

Diabetes Malaysia Cawangan Terengganu mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Pegawai Daerah Kuala Nerus, Dato Tengku Faruk, Pengerusi JKKK Kg Gong Lingai, En Muhamamad Mat Ali, Syed Mohd Yasni (Kayuh) dan semua peserta dan orang kampung yang telah menyertai acara ini.
