Malaysia Battles Diabetes By Spreading Awareness, Glitzkoin Supports Efforts

    KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, November 23, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With a population of around 30 million, Malaysia is home to one of the highest number of diabetics in Asia. Health centers across the nation work hard to spread awareness about diabetes – its causes, management and negative health impact are highlighted on various platforms.

Business Development Director, Ms. Lila Hussain represented Glitzkoin at the special event held to mark World Diabetes Day in Malaysia. The event titled, 'Diabetes And Senior Citizens Health Day', was actively supported by the Glitzkoin diamond blockchain project and the Cheneh Government Clinic.

A booth setup on the venue to provide medical advice related to diabetes and a healthy lifestyle, drew a number of interested participants all through the day. Medical experts are aware that a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy food habits, are the major factors that account for the large number of diabetics in Malaysia.

Ms. Lila emphasized that community events are a great way to bring together a responsive and attentive audience. In her words, "… awareness is all about being receptive to what is being presented and advised. Participants at community events are in a more positive frame of mind, the atmosphere is a friendly mixture of learning and social interaction … the perfect setting for this event … "

Medical advisers at the event talked about the direct relation between eating and blood sugar levels. Breakfast was arranged for all participant who were encouraged to have a blood test done, before and after the breakfast. This turned out to be one of the most effective ways to explain, the importance of choosing the right foods and monitoring the quantity and time for each meal.

Any awareness program related to diabetes, would never be complete without driving home the importance of physical activity and exercise. A sedentary lifestyle is one of the major causes of diabetes, it is also something that increases the severity of diabetes. Speakers at the event encouraged people of all ages, to adopt a more active lifestyle. The message was that, one is never too old nor too young to get on to a regular regime of physical activity.

Navneet Goenka CEO Glitzkoin expressed his satisfaction at the event, "… we would like to actively participate in such events in the coming future. World Diabetes Day is marked each year across the world on November 14. This came at a time when, the Glitzkoin DiaEx project is at its busiest phase but, that did not stop us from actively supporting the community event.
