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.
