The wife of Anambra State Governor, Mrs. Nonye Soludo has called on members of the public to prioritise their health through regular blood sugar checks, healthy eating, and physical activities as part of efforts to prevent diabetes-related complications.
Mrs. Soludo made the call in a message shared on her social media handles to commemorate World Diabetes Day.
She noted that diabetes was not a death sentence, stressing, however, that ignorance and late detection could make the condition dangerous.
The Anambra First Lady encouraged individuals to take responsibility for their health by knowing their blood sugar levels and paying attention to their general wellbeing.
She emphasised the importance of adopting healthy eating habits, engaging in regular physical exercise, and making routine medical examinations a priority.
According to her, early detection and conscious lifestyle choices remain important steps towards managing diabetes and reducing its associated health risks.
Mrs. Soludo further reminded the public that maintaining good health requires deliberate daily decisions and consistent attention to personal wellbeing.
She urged everyone to embrace healthier living, noting that health remains one of the greatest assets anyone can possess.
World Diabetes Day is observed annually to raise awareness about diabetes, it’s prevention, early detection, and effective management.
