Share details of your KiDS sessionOn the 24th of February, 2018 a KiDS education session was organised by the Society of Diabetes Patient Friends in Jeddah-KSA in the King Abdulaziz University Hospital Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The Society of Diabetes Patient Friends in Jeddah-KSA regularly conducts education sessions in schools in Jeddah to students and school staff to provide information and education on diabetes and diabetes management in schools.
The aim of this education session was to educate children and parents on diabetes and improve awareness.
A total of 53 children living with type 1 diabetes attended this session with their families (30 fathers and 50 mothers).
“Using the KiDS Information pack was very helpful in educating children, as the pack contains information about diabetes and how to manage diabetes during school. In addition, we educated the parents on diabetes and how to manage diabetes type 1. We corrected the myths on type 1 diabetes and informed them that they must send their diabetes care plan to the schools and keep in contact with the school care provider.” Hanaa Siddig Elsayed (Health educator specialist & diabetes patients educator)
