Diabetes can lead to serious diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and teeth. In most high-income countries, diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation. It is expected to affect 629 million adults by 2045.
Here we are providing every club a chance to take part in our Online Diabetes Awareness Campaign, which is the signature cause of Lions and Leos around the world. Our goal is that every person who does the survey becomes aware of his/her risk to Diabetes and starts taking preventive action, thus help him/her avoid becoming type 2 diabetic.
This service can be done anytime, anywhere especially during the lockdown period where doing service has become a great challenge to us lions.

Operation of services at the community wellness centres
As the Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to control the spread of COVID-19, the Community Health Nursing Service informs the public that all clinics except doctor’s clinic at the various community wellness centres will be conducted only by scheduled appointments.
In order to adhere to the physical distancing measures, persons are asked to call or visit their respective wellness centre to make an appointment. Doctor’s clinic at the various wellness centres will be available on a daily basis from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Therefore, persons are advised to avoid all coming in the morning unless there is an emergency. Instead, persons should come to visit the doctor throughout the day.
In addition, the eye clinic will resume at the Owen King EU Hospital on June 11, 2020 by appointments only. Clients will be informed via a telephone call.
All persons coming to conduct business at the various community wellness centres must wear a mask and adhere to the rules of physical distancing. Before entering the facility, person’s hands will be sanitized with an alcohol base solution.
The Ministry of Health will continue to take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all patients and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic and to make everyone as comfortable as possible whilst they wait and seek care.
Did you catch the latest radio drama series iRight???
This new educational and entertainment series commenced today on Radio Caribbean International at 3p and continues every Monday for the next 20 weeks.
It's one not to be missed. In the vein of Apwes Plaisir which aired over 20 years ago. Don't miss this creative discourse on a gamete of Human Rights issues; physical and psychological abuse, gender inequity, social disenfranchisement, etc.
Congratulations to PCI Media for driving this initiative and bringing all partners to table to generate attitudinal and behaviour change around these critical issues.
Photos below are from the launch of iRight tonight at Blue Coral Mall.
So remember, tune in next week Monday at 3pm on RCI.
Getting down to the meat of the matter.
It's a trap!
Are you familiar with your human rights?
Don't miss out😎
Living with a chronic illness? Then this is well worth giving a listen.
