In observance of World Diabetes Day, èßäÊÓƵ reaffirmed its commitment to the health and well-being of the community through an engaging panel discussion titled “Diabetes in Focus”. The panel discussion was led by esteemed èßäÊÓƵ faculty, known for their expertise in diabetes care and research, and highlighted the importance of diabetes awareness and proactive health management for faculty and staff.
This event addressed a range of topics, including the growing prevalence of diabetes, recognizing prediabetes, and the role of insulin resistance in disease progression. Participants learned about the effects of food choices on diabetes and explored how medication, exercise, and lifestyle changes can contribute to better health outcomes.
In partnership with Dar Al Shifa Hospital, participants also had access to an on-site health check station, where they were offered to monitor their blood sugar and blood pressure, emphasizing the importance of early detection and encouraging proactive health care.
Building bridges to wellness at èßäÊÓƵ begins with awareness and connection. By creating opportunities for education and action, we aim to empower our community to take charge of their health and embrace a brighter and healthier future.
