Started in 1997 by Dr. Angel Araneta, the Diabetes Information Team (DIT) was created in response to the growing concerns about the rising health threats that diabetes poses seeking to empower the public through right information. Since its foundation, the DIT holds a yearly Diabetes Family Day for its patients and members as a day of camaraderie, fun & games and learning opportunities.
The campaign features a week-long celebration during Bacolod Diabetes Awareness Week eas part of Negros Sugar Summit. Blessed with a perfectly fine weather the event started with an early morning walk around the grounds of Sacred Heart (Lupit) church participated by the patients and their families. Those who get to complete the 5 rounds of walkathon gets prizes and freebies.
It was then followed by a fellowship breakfast at Bishop Manuel Yap Memorial Hall.
A Diabetes forum that featured a 6- mini lecture series on Diabetes Education and Prevention lectured by our Pharma friends was made interactive by involving the participants through recitation and giving of prizes.
A variety of games and raffles were also prepared that definitely put some smile on everyone's face.
Not only that everyone had a lot of fun, laughs and good time in this years Diabetes Family Day Celebration but everybody came home with more knowledge on diabetes as well as information on prevention and management. Big thanks to all the Doctors and members of DIT and to our beloved sponsors who made this event possible and continue to work together for Diabetes prevention.
