DIABETES AWARENESS IN LITTLE CAYMAN AND CAYMAN BRAC

During the month of November, worldwide, special focus is put on Diabetes awareness. This year, the club decided to revisit Little Cayman to conduct Diabetes Screening. On Saturday, November 13, 2010, ten Lions boarded the small plane to carry out BMI Screening and Blood Sugar Testing.

We screened 34 individuals or 25% of the very small population. Special commendation must be given to Nurse Mary, resident nurse on that small island, for her indispensable support. We brought with us pamphlets, goody bags, healthy snacks and educational materials to share with the residents.

The next day, we joined the Diabetic Support group on their World Diabetes Day Stride and lighting of the museum blue.
