It is a very good proposal to educate and empower diabetic patients in Newham. The support and face to face educational sessions and workshops will help people to self-care and control their diabetes. It will be a great initiative to work on the prevention of diabetes mellitus as diabetes is increasing due to sedentary lifestyle and imbalanced diet in the whole population especially the Asian community (which form a great percentage of the local population). I like the idea of pro-actively dealing with diabetes mellitus which affects every organ of the body if not treated/controlled properly. Our local population really need such educational support for their better health.

@Haroon Kashmiri I was born in the West Indies and grew up hearing things like, “ you are what you eat “, “ prevention is better than cure “ and “ better late than never.” I still ate and drank all the wrong things and eventually developed diabetes mellitus. This does have a negative effect on every single organ in your body and I think investing all I can to help, would be time and energy well spent.
