BRIDGING VOICES ACROSS CONTINENTS
"people affected by limb loss”

The beauty of “I see you, I understand, I walk this path too” and bridging the voices across continents will be an honour to share my lived experience of limb loss, prevention and how never to give up

[Salih Hendricks @salih_hendricks]

What we gain in life can never be lost. Spending time with the #dedocvoices and learning from their lived experiences is priceless at #EASD2024 . This knowledge is #payitforward to our communities when back in our home country. Thank you #dedoc_org #dedoc

Help us turn South Africa blue for World Diabetes Day! 💙
We want the whole of South Africa to wear blue on World Diabetes Day, Tuesday 14th November 2023. Why? So that every South African will know the 5 symptoms of diabetes.
Please share!

@Jandelliott 40 years of diabetes and it has been up and down with infections, flu, sinus , kidney, pain , blood pressure all add to the high and lows

[Salih Hendricks @salih_hendricks]

Today the launch of the Dexcom G7 in South Africa. I received my Dexcom G7 from #Vitalairedebeteaza. Coping with change over the years with new Technology has not been easy but worth it to see the progress that has been made over the last 40 years.

[Salih Hendricks @salih_hendricks]

Lower limb Amputations can be prevented by adding the Vascular Scanning to your yearly checks. Foot health care is important for diabetics. Diabetics complications creeps on us at any age and at anytime. There are many diabetics that cannot cope with change.

@type1christine I would second that as we have to do so much research to keep ourselves alive

[Salih Hendricks @salih_hendricks]

Let us not forget about the aging diabetics #diabetes

[The diaTribe Foundation @diaTribeNews]

A new study results showed that using an artificial pancreas, or fully closed-loop automated insulin delivery system, improved time spent in a healthy glucose range by eight hours per day for people with type 2 diabetes. Read all the details here - https://t.co/nVeaComRVC
