Dominica Diabetes Association Celebrates Successful Diabetes Awareness Month!

The Dominica Diabetes Association extends its heartfelt gratitude to our many

sponsors, supporters, and friends for their unwavering commitment and enthusiasm

during Diabetes Awareness Month this November. Thanks to your generosity and

support, we achieved significant milestones in our mission to raise awareness and

promote education about diabetes in our community.

Throughout November, we successfully executed a series of initiatives designed to

inform the public about diabetes prevention and management. Our objectives

included:

- Conducting educational sessions and health fairs illustrating practical ways of

controlling and managing complications of all types of Diabetes. Public radio

discussions were widespread covering relevant topics such as nutrition, physical

activity ( sports and exercise ), drug management and adherence, and adapting to

healthier lifestyle choices.

- The inclusion of the Mass Media and the Corporate Community to assist with the

branding and amplifying of the mandate of the association through health fairs, radio,

and live social media broadcasts.

- Distributing educational materials and resources at local health centers and

community events.

These accomplishments have strengthened our community's understanding of

diabetes and fostered a culture of health and wellness.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce a series of upcoming events planned for

2025 that will further our efforts in diabetes awareness and management:

1. National Diabetes Symposium: This event will bring together healthcare

professionals, researchers, and community members to discuss the latest

advancements in diabetes care and treatment. Stay tuned for the date and location!

2. Formation of Community Diabetes Management Groups: We aim to empower

individuals living with diabetes through the establishment of local support groups,

fostering peer support and shared experiences to enhance diabetes management.

3. Youth Advocacy on Diabetes Awareness: Recognizing the importance of engaging

the younger generation, we will launch initiatives aimed at educating and involving

youth in diabetes awareness campaigns.

We invite everyone to join us in these endeavors as we continue to work together

toward a healthier future for Dominica. Your support is invaluable, and we look

forward to collaborating with you in the coming year.

Once again, thank you to all our sponsors, supporters, and friends for making

Diabetes Awareness Month a resounding success. Together, we can make a

difference in the lives of those affected by diabetes.
