SPORT4LIFE DIABETES CHALLENGE
Sport4LIfe supporting The Worshipful Mayor Of Waltham Forest Diabetes Challenge theme.
For her 2017-18 tenure, the Worshipful Mayor of Waltham Forest has chosen Diabetes as one her key themes.The mayoral aspiration is to raise awareness of the burden and consequences of diabetes through the support of local Diabetes Champions and Support Group.
She states: “ Diabetes is the fastest-growing health threat facing our nation and the number of people with diabetes is set to rise beyond 592 million worldwide by 2030. While it is recognised that diabetes prevalence is on the increase ...the good news is that it is preventable. It is therefore imperative that all stakeholders arise to the challenge and must work collectively to halt the tide through preventative measures and highlight the need to improve services to those living with diabetes”
