DDF Announces Martial Arts Defeat Diabetes® Community Action Project
Historic Curriculum for Martial Arts Schools
about Diabetes Awareness
Defeat Diabetes Foundation has developed a historic health curriculum for Martial Arts schools focusing on diabetes awareness and prevention. It's a first of its kind program and is the result of a unique collaboration between DDF and The New Way Project, spearheaded by Martial Arts Master-Teacher Tom Callos.
The curriculum includes information about risk factors, warning signs, complications and ways to prevent diabetes through attention to nutrition and physical activity and it's geared to young people.
The Martial Arts schools will also be able to share this crucial information within their respective communities through local schools, youth groups and other civic organizations.
Most diabetics enter a nursing home due to diabetes related complications, such as amputations, blindness, kidney failure, heart conditions, etc., rather than the disease itself. These complications often require professional medical attention, and assistance, that is no longer viable at home, by family, caregivers, or friends, and is beyond their capacity to self-manage.

Our CareGiverHelper service streamlines the organization and communication between family caregivers facilitating daily activities, emergencies and long term planning.
