Our Primary Goals

‍

1. Raising Awareness and Promoting Education

• Our mission is to enlighten the community about the pervasive impact of diabetes and prediabetes in Bermuda.
• Shockingly, 1 in 7 adults in Bermuda is affected by diabetes, and over 1,000 adults are unaware of their condition.
• Additionally, a staggering 1 in 3 adults in Bermuda is estimated to have prediabetes, with over 80% of them unaware of their risk.

‍

2. Early Detection for Empowerment

• We firmly believe that knowledge is the first step towards empowerment. We urge everyone to undergo prediabetes testing.
• Early diagnosis provides you with the power to make proactive lifestyle changes that can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.

‍

3. Self-Management and Empowerment

• For those already living with diabetes, our campaign is centered around self-empowerment.
• We are dedicated to equipping you with the essential tools, resources, and unwavering support needed to effectively manage your condition and minimize complications.

‍

4. Empowering Self-Care

• A diabetes diagnosis should not limit your potential. Our aim is to inspire and empower you to lead a vibrant life, irrespective of your health status.
• We encourage you to seize every moment and make it count, as you deserve to thrive.\

‍

5. Building a Supportive Community

• Our campaign goes beyond mere awareness; it's about building a supportive network.
• We provide valuable resources, guidance, and a welcoming community that will accompany you on your journey towards better health.
