Starting November 1 and throughout the month, screening operations will take place in all pharmacies on the island, organized by Rédiab Ylang, on the occasion of World Diabetes Day.
You are over 30 years old, you have a history of diabetes in the family or not, you can go to one of the 15 partner pharmacies of the campaign to get tested.

Detecting diabetes, a simple gesture.
A blood test taken from the fingertip by the pharmacist and within seconds you have the result. It is negative, you are reassured, otherwise, we will refer you to a doctor.
And that’s the whole point of screening. It helps prevent and treat diabetes. Because in Mayotte, half of the people affected by the disease knew nothing about their condition. Early diagnosis therefore makes it possible to avoid serious consequences such as vision problems, heart and kidney problems which can lead to serious treatments, such as dialysis, amputation and healing treatments, among others.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet
Hence the importance of these prevention and awareness campaigns carried out regularly by RédiabYlang 976 to inform you about what to do to avoid the disease if possible. This involves a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet as well as practicing a sporting activity.
