The Los Realejos City Council is joining the awareness campaign for the prevention and early action against diabetes, on the occasion of the World Diabetes Day, commemorated today, November 14.

Through Radio Realejos, social media, street actions, and from the Health Center, information will be provided to patients, families, and the general population. This initiative aligns with the campaign promoted by the Canary Islands Government's Ministry of Health and the Canary Islands Health Service, in collaboration with the Federation of Diabetes Associations of the Canary Islands (FAdiCAN), under this year's slogan ‘Take care of how you feel today. Live better tomorrow’.
The mayor of Los Realejos, Adolfo González, and the Councilor for Health, Carolina Toste, visited the Health Center this week. They were received by its director, Antonio Miguel Reyes, and deputy director, Ángeles Díaz, along with two diabetes patients. They will participate next Tuesday, November 17, at 10:30 AM in a special program on the municipal station Radio Realejos dedicated to the reality of these families and their lives with the disease.
To emphasize healthy habits and the early detection and prevention of diabetes, digital posters coordinated by the Canary Islands Health Service, as well as radio spots from the same campaign, will be shared on the Los Realejos City Council's social media and broadcast on Radio Realejos.
Furthermore, a healthy shopping trip will be conducted in a supermarket with diabetes patients and healthcare personnel, aiming to demonstrate a suitable dietary model for those who have the condition or wish to prevent it.
