Anyone in their early 20s with type 1 diabetes can participate, and they can apply on the Korean-German website and the Korean Type 1 Diabetes Association Community (Sugertree) by May 9.
My First Step, a bold step campaign, is part of the bold step campaign that Handok has been conducting every year since 2009 to help manage diabetes. This year, Handok planned "My First Step" in collaboration with the Korea Type 1 Diabetes Association, based on the fact that type 1 diabetic patients start college or social life in their early 20s and have difficulty managing their blood sugar.
The Stunning Step Campaign, My First Step, will take place at Handok Future Complex Innovation Hall in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 24. Participants will wear a continuous blood glucose meter, check their blood glucose levels in real-time, and participate in experience-oriented education. In addition, professional and diverse information can be obtained from specialists, diet coaches, and exercise coaches to help manage blood sugar. A specialist lecture will tell you how to start smartly self-directed blood sugar management based on real-world examples. You can learn and practice how to manage blood sugar easily at home with an exercise coach. In addition, nutritionist Song Ryu-ri, who participated as a participant in last year's confident footstep campaign, participates as a speaker to deliver practical advice and easy-to-follow diet management methods.
In addition to professional education, mentoring time is also available to share information and experiences with each other. Members of the Korea Type 1 Diabetes Association will participate as mentors to deliver actual experiences and advice from senior patients who are successfully managing blood sugar and living in society. In addition, participants will participate in a two-week healthy blood sugar management challenge. You will have time to practice what you learned in education by looking at blood sugar that changes into a 15-day continuous blood sugar meter.
Chairman Kim Young-jin of Handok said, "Handok has taken the lead in managing and treating diabetes and has worked to help patients live healthier and more vibrant lives"I hope this program will help patients who take their first steps into society to create a healthy daily life and a successful social life."
