KUCHING: Excessive sugar content in the body can be detrimental and lead to many sicknesses.
According
to Diabetes Malaysia Sarawak branch chairman Dr William Voon, it is the
association’s goal to create more awareness among members of the public
of the problems that excessive sugar in the body can cause.
“Every
two weeks, the association will create a programme and we usually
target shopping complexes around Kuching such as CityOne Megamall, The
Spring, Boulevard and today (yesterday) we are doing this programme in
The Summer Mall, and we have received quite a good response from the
community around here,” Dr Voon said.
He
told this to reporters during a health screening campaign organised by
Diabetes Malaysia Sarawak branch at The Summer Mall, Kota Samarahan
here.
He added that the association
recently carried out the same programme in Serian which received good
response, drawing more than 200 people.
