AUBMC Diabetes Day 2011 
2011-11-29
As part of its continuous thrive for Excellency; BPI, Benta Pharmaceutical Industries, participated in the 1st Diabetes Awareness Campaign day held in AUBMC Issam Fares Hall on November 29th, 2011. There are currently 183 million people living with Diabetes who are not aware of their illness, which could in part be due to a lack of knowledge on the subject. The key objective of this event was to raise awareness through an educational campaign which communicates empowerment through education. The campaign addressed the public. The campaign was designed to comprise 7 stations/booths; each of which focused on a specific theme under the umbrella of Diabetes. Blood sugar and blood pressure were tested and residents attended those booths and explained certain precautions that diabetic patients can take in order to reduce risk of complications. Those themes included the need for diet and exercise, medical management, foot care etc. During this event BPI distributed educational flyers on “Health Care Tips for Diabetic Patients”. This flyer provides patients with instructions to better take care of their bodies while having diabetes. Click here to download Health Care Tips for Diabetic Patients.
