Diabetes in South Asian Communities

November 14th, 2024

Diabetes, particularly Type 2, disproportionately affects South Asian communities, posing significant health challenges. AYAAF is committed to raising awareness and providing support to combat this issue.

We are organizing educational workshops tailored to South Asian dietary and lifestyle practices, focusing on diabetes prevention and management. These workshops will offer culturally relevant guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and regular health screenings.

In collaboration with healthcare professionals, AYAAF will provide free health check-up camps, including blood glucose testing, to facilitate early detection and intervention.

Furthermore, we are developing resource materials in multiple South Asian languages to ensure accessibility and inclusivity in our outreach efforts.

AYAAF urges community members to participate in these initiatives, promoting a collective effort towards healthier lifestyles and effective diabetes management.
