DIVAbetics Unite!
From the Press Release issued by Novo Nordisk-
Novo Nordisk, a world leader in diabetes care, today announced plans to host community outreach events that take diabetes education out of the clinical setting and into a fun and supportive environment. In collaboration with DIVABETIC, a diabetes outreach organization, the program, Divabetic - Makeover Your Diabetes, brings together nationally-known beauty and fashion experts and diabetes educators to encourage women to improve how they or their loved ones live with diabetes. Women living with, at risk of, or affected by diabetes, and their friends and family are invited to attend these free motivational events.
"The majority of people diagnosed with diabetes are living with inadequate control of their disease, a fact that can be attributed in large part to the difficulty of making the lifestyle modifications necessary to manage the disease," said Alan Moses, M.D., associate vice president of medical affairs, Novo Nordisk. "Divabetic - Makeover Your Diabetes responds to a critical need in the community to take a novel approach to diabetes education by inspiring improved diabetes care and encouraging women to make healthier lifestyle choices."
