For this reason and on the eve of a new commemoration of World Diabetes Day, they met again, since the second walk will be held for November 15, all invited, so many who have diabetes or obesity, such as thethat they wish to collaborate with donations, since they will be drawn.
Open doors- Meanwhile, next Saturday 8, where the Radio Club was, it will coordinate what the walk will be: “Lic. Macías focuses on the themes around nutrition, because this is a solidarity activity of which weWe want everyone to participate. ”
In this context, Carlos Muñoz said that "Gabriela is eager for people to become aware of food habits in diabetes" and added that people made many consultations around food.
The present people had eight, ten, or fifteen with the disease, being some dependent input, while others just start with pills, therefore “this place will be used to continue the informative talks and can make their consultation whoever wish”Muñoz expanded.
