Today, we join the global community to raise awareness on diabetes - a condition affecting millions worldwide, including people in our workplaces.
This year’s global theme is “Diabetes and Well-Being,” with the focused campaign highlighting “Diabetes in the Workplace.” Both remind us that supporting health at work is essential for overall well-being.
Why Workplace Wellness Matters:
* 7 in 10 people living with diabetes are of working age
* Stress, long sitting hours, unhealthy snacking, and lack of screenings increase risk.
* A supportive workplace can prevent diabetes, improve productivity, and enhance the quality of life for employees.
As part of today’s awareness, we are also debunking common myths about diabetes — myths that often create stigma and lead to poor understanding.
Let’s Build Healthier Workplaces:
* Encourage regular health checks & blood sugar screenings
* Promote healthy eating in offices
* Reduce long sedentary hours
* Create stress-management and fitness activities
* Support employees living with diabetes
Together, we can create workplaces where everyone thrives - stronger, healthier, and more productive.
