“Diabetes SA has been an advocate and pillar of strength to the Diabetic community in South Africa for many years and we look forward to continuing our support of their initiatives this year. Diabetes is on the increase worldwide and we hope that our involvement will help Diabetes SA grow one step closer to achieving their goals for 2008,” says Saul Rivkind, Experiential & Trade Marketing Manager (MeriBrands).
New data from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) show that more than 230 million people, almost six percent of the world's adult population, now lives with diabetes.
“Diabetes SA has a mission statement of ‘promoting diabetes, care and support for all.' We do this by dealing with people who have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes whether they have medical aid or not,” says Leigh Ann Bailie, the National Office Manager at Diabetes SA.
