sweet life 2025

It's going to be a great year for South Africans with diabetes! Below are the four big projects we're focusing on this year, and we'd love to hear your feedback. Is there something I forgot? Is there anything urgent that needs to be addressed?

Remember, La Dolce Vita is all about diabetes education: We want to empower South Africans living with diabetes by providing them with all the information they need to live healthy and happy lives.

SA Diabetes Advocacy has a lot of interesting things to say diabetes advocacy Projects – that is their core focus and you can find out more about them here.

So what are we going to do?

Monthly diabetes media

Diabetes needs to be covered more in the media. That's why each month we create a diabetes-related media release on a specific topic, diabetes hero, or related health topic and send it to websites and radio and television stations across the country. I already have some ideas and lots of contacts, but if you have any you think I should include, please comment on this post or email me.

Repeat Sweet Life chatbot

V1 of the Sweet Life chatbot is live and undergoing an extensive national feedback effort to find out what works and what doesn't. V2 is expected to be released later this year. Watch this space.

diabetes stigma campaign

We've written about diabetes stigma several times before, but now we need a highly targeted diabetes stigma campaign to shine a spotlight on diabetes stigma. It becomes. We invite our community to create hero videos of people living with diabetes saying, “Diabetes is like me.” And we're making May 14th our official #DiabetesLooksLikeMe day.

#WearBlueforDiabetes

The annual World Diabetes Day campaign is now joined by even more schools, businesses and individuals. This year, we're going beyond the five symptoms and sending people #WearBlueforDiabetes packs so they can host small events around the country (at work, library, church, home). Each reaches one.

How would you like to be involved?

This is obviously a very brief overview of what we want to do in 2025, but please join us. If you have any ideas, please comment on this post or email us. facebook Or Instagram – we’d love to hear from you!
