hosted the event World Diabetes Day: d’EYESbetes to answer the nation’s questions about diabetes, risk factors, complications and how we can treat and prevent it. The event was held at Puskesmas Jalan Mas and ran from 6.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. It started with a brief health check-up on the 60 participants that
joined, and proceeded with two seminars conducted by Dr. Theo and Dr. Werlinson respectively. The event ended with the giving of a door prize, a healthy sack of red rice. On a high note, with the results of the pre and posttest showing that participants indeed had an improved understanding of the disease. To conclude, not only did the participants have something to take away from the event, but so did the event’s committee; knowledge to against the spur of this disease.
