Galleria - Public Awareness Activities

Diabetes Education and Prevention is the World Diabetes Day theme for the period 2009-2010. The campaign calls on all those responsible for diabetes care to understand diabetes and take control. For people with diabetes, this is a message about empowerment through education. For healthcare professionals, it is a call to improve knowledge so that evidence-based recommendations are put into practice.

For the general public, it is a call to understand the serious impact of diabetes and know how it is possible to avoid or delay diabetes and its complications. In this regards, walkathon and diabetes awareness skit were organized on world diabetes day by Karnataka Institute of Diabetology in school and parks of Bangalore.
