The activity, which targeted diabetic patients and their families, involved an informative lecture by CBH endocrinologist, Dr. Abdul Salam Abu Libdeh, wherein useful medical information about the disease, as well as the latest treatment methods, were shared with the families. Moreover, advice on healthy nutrition for diabetic patients and the calculation of carbohydrates was given by the nutritionist, Ms. Marianne Petro. 

Apart from its medical value, this activity offered a platform for diabetic patients and their parents to exchange knowledge and support each other, wherein the Department for Social Services and the Band of Smile carried out entertaining, yet educational activities throughout the workshop.
