The Ministry of Health organized an awareness event yesterday at The Avenues Mall to mark World Diabetes Day, under the patronage and attendance of Minister of Health Dr. Ahmed Al-Awadi, as part of its efforts to enhance public awareness about diabetes, its prevention, and how to manage its symptoms.
The event featured several awareness topics, most notably the identification of diabetes symptoms in children from birth up to the age of 14, as well as signs of high blood sugar levels, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, and lethargy.
The awareness campaign also covered the symptoms of hypoglycemia and the importance of early intervention, alongside educational stations on balanced nutrition, insulin dosage calculation, and children’s dental health.
