Diabetes Week

During the week dedicated to Diabetes, a Practice Development Nurse and a Diabetes Clinic Nurse from Primary HealthCare Malta visited us and conducted talks in all our Year 7 classes. During these sessions, our students got more information about TYPE 1 and TYPE 2 diabetes, how to recognise the symptoms and how to manage Type 1 diabetes via treatment, diet, exercise and monitoring. Besides, students got to know how to help students in their class who develop complications of Type 1 diabetes, how to prevent Type 2 diabetes and the importance of exercise and a good diet. Our students participated actively in the sessions by asking interesting questions. A special thanks go to Primary HealthCare Malta for organising these informative sessions.
