World Diabetes Day 2024
World Diabetes Day is the primary global awareness campaign focused on diabetes mellitus and is held on 14th November each year. This year, Kempas Medical Centre, in collaboration with Taisho Pharmaceutical, hosted a diabetes talk in Mandarin. With the generous support of Taisho Pharmaceutical, vegetarian meals and goodies were provided to event participants. Additionally, a free glucose test was offered to the first 10 participants who registered. Our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Chua Mei Phing, and Ms. Erin, our dietitian, gave talks on the nature of diabetes, diabetes management, and dietary guidance for diabetics.
