The Antigua and Barbuda Diabetes Association is inviting the public to take part in a series of activities this month aimed at promoting early detection and supporting people living with diabetes.

Under the theme “Early Action on Diabetes,” the programme marks World Diabetes Day and Diabetes Awareness Month 2026, with events focused on awareness, prevention and management.

Activities begin Nov. 13 with Go Blue Day, when residents are encouraged to wear blue in support of people living with diabetes. A Diabetes School Quiz is also scheduled for that day.

An awareness walk will follow Nov. 14, with registration available online. A public lecture is scheduled for Nov. 18, with participants invited to register through Zoom.

The programme also includes a free Family Fun Day on Nov. 22 and a free health fair on Nov. 25. A fundraising gala marking the association’s 40th anniversary will take place Nov. 28.

The association encouraged residents to participate with colleagues, relatives and friends and to share information about the activities within their communities.
