EUROPEAN SOCIAL PROJECTS
DIABETES PREVENTION & NUTRITION
As Rotaract Club of Çekirge, Turkey and Rotaract Club of Kardzhali, Bulgaria, we conducted a social media campaign on November 14, World Diabetes Day, to raise awareness about diabetes. The parts of our posts that provide a general overview of diabetes, including general information about diabetes, how it affects our bodies, how to measure blood sugar, symptoms that appear in diabetes, risk factors, and diabetes statistics in Turkey and Bulgaria, were penned by Dr. Angel Tenev, a member of the Kardzhali Rotaract Club. The sections on how nutrition should be in diabetes and the impact of nutrition on diabetes were written by Dietitian Yaren Maviler, member of the Çekirge Rotaract Club. We believe that this campaign, carried out as twin clubs, is a comprehensive awareness effort about diabetes, one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide.
