World Diabetes Day 2016 at Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai looks forward to
its annual World Diabetes Day Health Fair as a way to promote diabetes
awareness, prevention, and healthy living with diabetes to the Mount Sinai
Community and the New York City community-at-large. On World Diabetes Day,
November 14, 2016, a multidisciplinary team led by Camilla Levister, MS, ANP-C,
CDE, and Briana Adler, MS, RD, CDN, both the Mount Sinai Hospital Diabetes
Center led the annual World Diabetes Day Health Fair. The International
Diabetes Federation designated “Eyes on Diabetes” as this years’ World Diabetes
Day theme with the key message to promote the importance of screening, early diagnosis
of type 2 diabetes, and treatment of diabetes to reduce the risk of
complications. The World Diabetes Health Fair at Mount Sinai carried out
this theme by providing
complimentary body fat testing and type 2 diabetes risk
assessment and counseling with Mount Sinai health care providers and certified
diabetes educators. Additionally, we hosted a Diabetes Themed Jeopardy
game as an engaging way to promote awareness of what diabetes is, its risks,
and management. Organizations such as the American Diabetes Association,
92nd Street Y, The American Heart and Stroke Association, and Mount
Sinai’s Fit for Life program were in attendance to promote healthy living to
all including those without diabetes, those at high risk, and those currently
living with diabetes.
