The workshop, supervised by several of the department's specialists and attended by specialists, doctors, children and their families, aimed to teach the correct ways of counting carbohydrates in daily meals and linking them to insulin doses. It also covered how to read food labels and measure portions accurately, with practical everyday examples. The workshop saw lively interaction from those present.
The workshop is part of the department's health awareness, education and regular medical follow-up, which play a key role in improving the quality of life of children with diabetes and reducing complications.
