For World Diabetes Day, the project organised an information session for staff and participants to raise awareness about Diabetes. Twenty Five people attended this session and fifteen people took a test to guage their blood sugar level.
The message this year is get early screening for Type 2 Diabetes as one in 2 adults with diabetes are undiagnosed. With early screening you can help prevent complications. More info here.
Diabetes is a lack of the hormone insulin which helps sugars get absorbed into the body. For further info go to www.diabetes.ie
