Together Let’s Beat Diabetes
We are continuing our mission to raise awareness about diabetes - a condition that impacts millions of South Africans, often without them even realising it.
This year’s campaign once again highlights simple, everyday actions that can reduce your risk of getting Type 2 diabetes and manage diabetes better. By focusing on four core pillars, we encourage people to:
- Get tested – early detection can save lives.
- Choose water – hydrate without added sugar.
- Eat healthy – balanced meals support long-term wellbeing.
- Get active – regular movement strengthens both body and mind.
Over 5400 people tested
The campaign aims to reach South Africans everywhere – at work, at home and in their communities. We have been hosting free diabetes testing stations across the country and have tested over 5000 people in 2025.
On 14 November, the world recognises World Diabetes Day. Everyone was encouraged to wear blue on 14 November in support of those living with diabetes and to create awareness. Various channels were used to help spread the message, including interviews and adverts on Ukhozi FM, SAfm, Radio 2000, ECR, Heart FM and Lotus FM.
Diabetes may be a serious condition, but awareness and action can make all the difference.
