St. Nicholas Hospital Diabetes Support Group presents “Get fit with Diabetes”. Join us on the last Saturday of this Month (27th of July 2019) at St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos Island as we achieve glycemic control with exercise.  Exercise has so many benefits, but the biggest one is that it makes it easier to control your blood glucose (blood sugar) level. In other words, it doesn’t matter if you’re insulin resistant or if you don’t have enough insulin: when you exercise, your muscles get the glucose they need, and in turn, your blood glucose level goes down. 

Dress Code: Sports wear 

Time: 11am prompt

Look out! Don’t let diabetes take your sight!!!

We are passionate about ensuring that our patients with chronic diseases are adequately cared for and that health outcomes in Nigeria improve.

The mission of this support group is that every person affected by or at risk of diabetes within St. Nicholas hospital and her environs has access to the support needed to live at a full and active life.

Diabetes is a condition that impairs the body’s ability to process blood glucose, otherwise known as blood sugar.

Without ongoing, careful management, diabetes can lead to a buildup of sugars in the blood, which can increase the risk of dangerous complications.

Different kinds of diabetes can occur, and managing the condition depends on the type. Not all forms of diabetes stem from a person being overweight or leading an inactive lifestyle. In fact, some are present from childhood.

Come join us today, to learn more on tips to avoid diabetes and care for your loved ones.

Every last Saturday bi-monthly (last Saturday at 2 months interval)

Venue: St. Nicholas hospital conference room, Mezzanine floor.
