Working together with the Department of Endocrinology, University of Uyo Teaching Hospital and the Diabetes Association of Nigeria, we were able to mark the World Diabetes Day 2018 which featured free Random Blood Sugar tests, free Blood Pressure checks and Body Mass Index (BMI) evaluation.

Participants were greeted to elaborate health talks by a consultant endocrinologist, a dietitian and a physiotherapist about healthy lifestyles and prevention of diabetes. Those with the illness were counselled on lifestyle modification and dietary restriction.
