Time: 10:00 am-4:00 pm

The expo identifies two educational tracks. The first track is Prevention, designed for people who are at risk of developing diabetes. The focus of this track will be on taking steps to reduce risk of diabetes and the prevention of diabetes.

The second track, Protection, is for those who have diabetes and need to protect against complications. These participants will be shown how to take control of their diabetes.

"ACE Diabetes was established in 2012 to address the overwhelming need in The Bahamas for diabetes awareness and the challenge of managing diabetes on a daily basis," Nurse Cates said.

"We want to encourage a sense of empowerment, we want people to leave the expo believing that they can take control of their health and knowing the steps to take. Diabetes takes away control and leaves you dependent on others. Through the "Get On Track" Expo we aim to educate people on how to get back in control... how to get back on track... with their health and lives."

The "Get On Track" Expo is free and open to the public. It will be held on Saturday November 23rd from 10:00am to 4:00pm at The New Providence Community Center on Blake Road. Click HERE to read for more information.
