The Algerian Society of Diabetology (SADIAB) took over the Sablettes promenade in Algiers on Saturday for a major mobilization centered on diabetes prevention. Organized on the sidelines of its 27th National Congress, this initiative brought together citizens, healthcare professionals, and associations around a marathon, screening drives, and awareness workshops, featuring the participation of more than 100 diabetic children in a race specially organized for them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marking the observance of World Diabetes Day, SADIAB chose the Sablettes promenade to bring healthcare practitioners closer to citizens and underscore the role of physical activity in preventing and managing this chronic illness.<\/p>\n

In an athletic and friendly atmosphere, the event combined running, walking, and discussions with specialists, aiming to educate different age groups on the benefits of regular exercise, both to lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and to improve glycemic balance for those already living with the condition.<\/p>\n

Organizers made a point of educating attendees on the fact that sports play a vital role in supporting patients, specifying that “it helps boost insulin sensitivity, promotes blood sugar control, and acts on several risk factors, notably overweight and obesity.” Tailored to each individual’s capabilities and health status, it forms an essential complement to medical treatment and nutritional monitoring.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the gathering was enriched by setting up a “Diabetes Village,” a true hub for information and community outreach aimed at participants and casual visitors alike. Medical professionals offered guidance on nutrition, risk factors, and ways to ward off complications. Screening sessions were scheduled, particularly for diabetes and hypothyroidism, to spotlight the importance of early diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Visitors were able to explore new technologies utilized in tracking the illness, notably continuous glucose monitoring devices. These sensors track blood sugar fluctuations throughout the day and alert patients in the event of an imbalance. They represent a welcome breakthrough in care, particularly for individuals who must closely monitor their blood glucose levels. Sensors were thus made available to runners through a partnership with Salem Laboratories.<\/p>\n

Children at the Heart of the Mobilization<\/strong><\/p>\n

A special place was reserved for young patients. In coordination with the National Association of Diabetics and the National Association of School Health, a two-kilometer race was dedicated to them. Over 100 diabetic children, hailing from Algiers, Blida, Tipaza, and Boumerdes, were announced for this event supervised by physicians and coaches.<\/p>\n

The associations stated that “this initiative meets a need for awareness from the youngest age,” especially since for children living with diabetes, physical activity represents a way to improve their fitness and better manage their condition. However, it requires tailored support, particularly “regarding blood sugar monitoring and nutrition before and after exertion.”<\/p>\n

Parents were thus included in this effort through educational workshops held on-site. Organizers maintained that educating them is vital, as apprehensions tied to risks of hypoglycemia or glycemic imbalance can sometimes deter children from joining sports activities. The presence of doctors and instructors thus helped reassure families and reiterate the precautions needed for safe exercise.<\/p>\n

Beyond this race, supporting young patients remains a major priority for associations and medical staff. In this spirit, they were taught monitoring routines, an understanding of the condition, and the adoption of sound dietary habits to help gradually build their independence and prevent complications.<\/p>\n

Medical Breakthroughs at the Center of the Congress<\/strong><\/p>\n

This public mobilization formed the community outreach component of SADIAB’s 27th National Congress, held from November 12 to 14 at Djamaa El-Djazair. This scientific gathering brought specialists together around developments in diabetology and fresh approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.<\/p>\n

Proceedings covered several dimensions of the disease, notably its cardiovascular and renal complications, its links with obesity and cancer, as well as its impact on mental health. Special focus was placed on forms of diabetes affecting children, adolescents, and pregnant women, whose care demands specialized follow-up.<\/p>\n

Novel therapeutic strategies, precision medicine, and artificial intelligence applications in diabetology practice also fueled discussions among attendees. The schedule totaled 265 scientific papers presented as electronic posters, attesting to the breadth of research devoted to this pathology.<\/p>\n

By pairing scientific exchange with grassroots outreach, SADIAB lent a tangible dimension to its annual gathering. Awareness, early detection, balanced nutrition, and regular physical exercise remain essential levers for curbing diabetes complications and enhancing patients’ quality of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
