Another successful day of learning, empowerment, and community engagement marked Day 3 of Diabetes Awareness Week 2026 at the Western Visayas Medical Center DM Clinic.

Today’s activities emphasized one of the most important pillars of diabetes management—healthy nutrition. During our educational session, “Portion Control Matters: Eating Right to Beat Diabetes,” participants learned practical strategies for making healthier food choices, understanding proper portion sizes, and developing sustainable eating habits to better manage and prevent diabetes.

Our Diabetes Clinic Consultation continued to provide personalized guidance from our healthcare professionals, while the afternoon Diabetes Risk Assessment and Screening encouraged more individuals to take the first step toward better health through early detection and timely intervention.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated doctors, nurses, healthcare staff, volunteers, and partners for their unwavering commitment to promoting diabetes awareness and preventive care. To everyone who joined today’s activities, thank you for choosing to invest in your health and for being part of this meaningful initiative.

As we head into the next days of Diabetes Awareness Week, we invite everyone to continue participating in our educational sessions, free consultations, and screening activities. Together, we can create a healthier community by raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and supporting one another in the fight against diabetes.

Healthy eating, regular screening, and informed choices are powerful tools in beating diabetes—one day, one meal, and one step at a time. 💙
