Today, Trinidad and Tobago joins the global community in observing World Diabetes Day under the theme, “Diabetes Across Life Stages.”
The focus is on raising awareness that diabetes can affect people at every age, from childhood to older adulthood.
Minister of Rural Development and Local Government, Hon. Khadijah Ameen urges citizens to know their numbers by checking blood sugar, monitoring blood pressure, staying active, and watching for warning signs.
She emphasizes that prevention starts with awareness, and managing diabetes requires consistent care.
Minister Ameen calls for communities where healthier choices are easier, support is accessible, and no one faces diabetes alone.
