A free event raising awareness of Type 2 diabetes is being held in Leicester later this month.
The event, Live Healthier, Stay Healthier, will take place at Moat College on Saturday 18 March, 11-3pm. There will be free physical activity sessions for all the family, health checks and healthy eating guidance.
The NCSEM-EM is holding the event in collaboration with the Centre for BME Health East Midlands and the Academic Health Science Network.
The event is part of a campaign to raise awareness of Type 2 diabetes in ethnic minority communities in Leicestershire that was launched in 2016. A six-month programme of activities, including dancing sessions and healthy eating workshops, have been held in a bid to help raise awareness and encourage prevention of the serious condition which can have devastating complications.
