Changing Diabetes

As part of their Corporate Social Responsibilities the insulin producer Novo Nordisk is conducting free testing for and advice on diabetes today and tomorrow in Amman and on the 21th in Irbid. In Amman the event takes place in front of Mecca Mall gate 3.

I took the test myself this morning – no apparent diabetes alhamduallah - and I strongly would encourage everyone to go to the Novo Bus and do the test. I was informed that many people – including young ones – actually have the illness without knowing. The reason is, that symptoms are only felt seriously, when it is to late to do much about it – eg. medication for the rest of your life. Whereas with early discovery and a change of lifestyle a person might push diabetes back or at least keeps it under control.

So go get a test, please.
