The Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, has organised a day-long exhibition and poster competition titled ‘Stroke and Diabetes’ at its campus on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, to commemorate the World Diabetes Day 2023.
According to a press release, the Department of Dietetics has put up a display aimed at creating awareness and educating participants about a balanced diet that needs to be adhered to, by a diabetic patient at the exhibition. Special attention has been given to ‘calorie counting’ and the ‘three meal three snacks’ pattern of diet.
Aerobics, strengthening as well as other types of exercise regimens were demonstrated by the Department of Physiotherapy, which will be useful to patients for reducing body weight and improving general well-being. They were also taught the know-how required to deal with various musculo-skeletal problems common in diabetes, such as frozen shoulder.
