Synopsis
As life expectancy increases with better health care, patients presenting for cancer treatments often have other pre-existing chronic conditions and diabetes is one of them.
Diabetes is a chronic condition which results in high blood glucose. This is often due to either the body not producing enough insulin or it is not working as effectively.
For many patients, diabetes management can often take a backseat to cancer treatment. Occasionally, patients are also unsure how to eat well for both. In this workshop, we hope to clarify any doubts you have and share some tips on how you can manage both at the same time.
(Do note that the session will be conducted in English only)*A Zoom link will be sent to your email upon confirmation of your registration.

Stay happy and positive. Patricia Tham Lai Kuan IN MEMORY OF Those we have lost IN HONOUR OF All Survivors. Continue the fight! IN HONOUR OF Jamilah A. I’M A SURVIVOR Cancer very disruptive!! Turned my life upside down. From a focused and down-to-earthperson, I became someone lacking in confident, confused and full of emotions. I hated theword “Strong”. “Be strong”, “Stay strong”, “You are strong”, “Thought you are strong”, blah,blah…. Never an easy journey!!But when you trust, submit and be a true slave to the only ONE, things will get easier. Seekhelp. Make authentic decision for yourself and no one else. Never give up HOPE!! Rose
