Day
It is always a beautiful thing to always try out beautiful contest that is held in the steem Cameron community held by @steem-cameroon and today I will be dropping my entry concerning the awareness day and which I believe you guys will definitely love it. Read below. Today I will be talking about the World Diabetes Day which is always held in November 14th. I will be sharing more details below so stay tuned.
Let me start by saying that I personally chose World Diabetes Day because diabetes as a sickness have been affecting a lot of people negatively and their health. World Diabetes Day as it is called is always celebrated every year on the November 14th. It was first founded in the year 1991 and that was done by an organisation called IDF which is called international Diabetes Federation and also in agreement with WHO which is called the World Health Organisation.
The day was actually set to help raise awareness of diabetes which have been a very vital condition that have been affecting a lot of millions of people. So the day has been able to help create awareness for people to know what to do to prevent the disease and not only prevent the disease but also to manage the disease.
Also the day which is called November 14th is chosen to also honour the day Sir Frederick Banting which will help discovered insulin as in the year of 1921. This discovery is what actually helped in the treatment of diabetes either for the Type 1 and for Type 2 diabetes. The reason for the day is to help create more better understanding of the disease and helps promote for the healthcare services.
Alright giving a brief description about the mascot I drew, as you can see in the picture, this shows a hand drawn emblem which i drew for the World Diabetes Day. It is always observed November 14th just like I always say and as you can see in the center of the drawing, there is this text called the World Diabetes Day written in that circular shape.
That circular shape symbolise the global awareness it is creating for the awareness of diabetes. November 14th is held for the day of observance. As you can see also, there is this small heart symbol in that circle which shows care, compassion and also health values. This helps to fight against the condition called Diabetes.
World Diabetes Day which is always hold on November 14th, there are a lot of changes that the day have brought to my community which I will be talking below;
Like I said earlier, it helps to create massive awareness and education that helps to create a change in the community. Now people know the great difference between the Type 1 and also the Type 2 diabetes which helps to make people to be aware of the symptoms, risk and also the issues attached to it. Now in my community, there are a lot of awareness campaigns that have started during that day and people have been sharing information that has created awareness about the disease.
The second importance that I believe this day have done for my community is that it has helped to make people to live healthy. After people now know that the awareness of the disease and so people have been so cautious of their lifestyle so that it will not affect them. Now people are aware of some healthy lifestyle that they should live so that it can helped to either prevent them from having diabetes or even helping them to manage them.
Then the last one is that it has helped to create massive support and resources for the Diabetic patients and this is really so helpful. My community now have been enlighten to know about experience and ways to manage the condition effectively and in fact a lot of healthcare providers have helped to provide drugs to help patients to have the necessary care that they should need.
The first promoter is the International Diabetes Federation which is the global founder behind Diabetes as it helped to play a major role to help that diabetes awareness much more.
The world health organisation is the second promoter which has helped to grow the World Diabetes Day which has helped in the partnership with governments and helps the healthcare organisations to help educate the community members much more on the prevention and management of the diabetes disease.
I also believe the community can help to create more diabetes education to school curriculum as that can help those young folks in our community to help promote healthy lifestyle from the early stage.
I invite @chant , @saxopedia and @fombae to drop a very constructive comments on this post and also to participate in this contest.
