Prevention is better than cure!

The Townsville Senior Citizens learned a lot, at the meeting on 29th August, from the talk of pharmacist, Maree Singleton, on how to prevent the development of diabetic ulcers. 

A sizeable proportion of those present at the meeting on the day in fact suffer from either Diabetes Type 1 or Diabetes Type 2 so the talk was especially relevant to them but also interesting for other members interested in maximizing their health in the future.

Maree used the Association's newly acquired projector and screen to great effect.  This, together with the use of the trusty microphone, brought her messages clearly to her listeners.  Most of her suggestions were very simple (see right below) but she assured members that they were very effective!

Maree made some helpful brochures available and she encouraged those present to seek the advice of their doctors, pharmacists and other health professionals to prevent the development of ulcers or at least to tackle them in the early stages.

The Townsville Senior Citizens thank Maree for presenting such an interesting and valuable talk.
