Dear members and friends,
This is an exciting year for us at Diabetes South Africa; it’s our 55th Anniversary Celebration. Yes, we have been assisting and supporting people from all over South Africa since we were established in 1969.
To mark this milestone, we are holding a Fundraising Dinner and Auction at the Century City Conference Centre in Cape Town on Saturday 31st August 2024. Starting at 4:30pm with free welcome drinks, we will be live streaming the Springboks vs All Blacks rugby game. There will be exhibitors’ tables in the foyer, a delicious four-course menu and four celebrity guests to entertain us.
We do hope that many of you will come and celebrate with us. Be on the lookout for the invite and programme on our website within the next week. Questions and interest can be directed to info@diabetessa.org.za
Now about the winter issue of Diabetes Focus. We have included many articles to help you through the cold weather: Don’t let the cold win: exercise; Nourish your skin more in winter and three delicious recipes.
There are also really informative articles that I enjoyed reading: Time to understand time in range; Are moods and blood glucose in children related? and Navigating the post-meal rollercoaster.
A topic that women should all be aware is: Vaginal yeast infections: all you need to know and I think many have experienced The ‘Can you eat that’ shame.
Yours in Health
