On 25 July, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) will host the online event “The power of movement to tackle diabetes”. During this event, diabetes advocates will highlight the benefits of physical activity, look at the external factors that can influence the inclusion of people with diabetes in physical activity and share best practices and successful initiatives.
This activity is part of the Kids and Diabetes in Schools (KiDS) programme, initiated by IDF, the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) and Sanofi in 2013. Our actions align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably 3.4 to “reduce premature mortality from NCDs by one-third through prevention, treatment and promotion of mental health and well-being.
