Diabetes Lifestyle Community Publication hits the shelves
Diabetes Lifestyle is a quarterly community print publication, which aims to spread messages about good diabetes care, and how, in spite of diabetes, people with the condition can achieve healthy, productive and fulfilled lives. Now, in its 28th Issue, Diabetes Lifestyle is available for the first time in over 1300 retail outlets nationally, including Dischem, Pick n Pay, Clicks and Spar.
Published by the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology (CDE), the publication was initially only available free to members of the CDE Diabetes Management Programme, but now is available to the public. “In each issue, everyday South Africans with diabetes tell their personal, inspirational stories of living with and triumphing over diabetes. Along with that, professionals in the industry and thought-leading healthcare providers share insights, recipes, lifestyle ideas, latest innovations and credible, foundational information relating to diabetes and associated health conditions. Diabetes Lifestyle is aimed at people who care about their health,” says Michael Brown, Editor of Diabetes Lifestyle and Clinical Consultant in Diabetes at the CDE. “Our team is passionate about good diabetes care and the reduction of lifestyle-associated cardiovascular risks – we hope that some of our collective enthusiasm, experience and knowledge will rub off through this publication and change lives.”
Diabetes Lifestyle retails at R30 including VAT, and is available throughout South Africa and at selected outlets in Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. It remains a free benefit to all Members on the CDE Diabetes Management Programme through their treating CDE doctor.
“The first retail issue of Diabetes Lifestyle (Issue 2, 2017) comes with a value-packed two-for-one bagging with Issue 1 for 2017. “I encourage all people living with diabetes and even those living with or supporting people living with the condition to get a copy. If diabetes affects your life in any way, start building your collection of Diabetes Lifestyle today,” concludes Brown.
