Awareness campaign Survey of Diabetes from School


Diabetes Care & Control Program-2  By  Singhal Diabetic Clinic

We are working on Diabetes from last 20 years, & performed various awareness activities through National News paper articles, Radio talks, TV programs, Awareness lectures in social organizations, Distribution of literature & 49 Free Diabetic camps till 2011.

Now in the continuation of our awareness activities we have started the survey from schools with the objective to create awareness of Diabetes  among children. World health organisation states that there is enough evidence that consumption of Junk food & lack of physical activity particularly in children is a trigger to multiply the disease occurrence.  India was estimated to have the highest number of diabetes cases in 2010 ~ 50 million approx. and by 2012 it is estimated to rise to 65 million. There is an increase in the percentage of population being exposed to diabetes in addition to the decrease in age of onset.

This can be prevented by having update information, before its onset, Therefore we have decided to collect the basic information. By which we may be able to provide better solutions for motivation to children and their parents to adopt healthy life style & diet, along with the preventive alerts regarding this complicated multi-factorial disease. As we believe that creating awareness is first step in fighting against the menace of diabetes.  To do this needful we released a Performa to be filled by the students/parents, for their welfare.
