World Diabetes Day
GreenCity Medical Center has celebrated World Diabetes Day at their 6th floor function room last November 16, 2019. This event meant to show the how to properly care and manage diabetes and how the family plays an important role in this.
The celebration consisted of different activities such as free RBS, ABI, triglyceride, cholesterol, and uric acid test to give the participants an insight of their current state of health. These were followed by lay fora, wherein the topics discussed were Diabetes awareness and implications, the importance of portion control and choice of food included in a diabetic’s diet, as well as the treatments available to manage the disease with an open-forum segment to encourage participant’s questions or clarifications. The event also organized a Zumba dance to encourage participants to exercise to better control and manage their diabetes.
To aid in participants monitoring of their their blood glucose, GreenCity also raffled blood glucose kits and gave free samples of diabetic nutritional supplements as prizes to winners of the event’s games. It was a day filled with fun and educational activities that supports GreenCity Medical Center’s advocacy of patient education and empowerment.
