Diabcure 4.0

 “Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now – a time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.” - Mary Tyler Moore.

Non communicable diseases are spreading at an alarming rate over the world. Over 18 million people die each year from cardiovascular disease, with diabetes and hypertension being major risk factors. As a result, diabetes is rapidly becoming a global health-care problem that threatens to become pandemic by 2030.

So in order to subsidize in killing this silent killer, Diabcure team of Leo club of university of Colombo came up with the project Diabcure 4.0 which was implemented for the 4th consecutive year. This was to be executed in three phases, where's the first phase has already been implemented on 21st of October, 2021 from 6 .30 pm to 7.pm virtually via zoom and Facebook live platform due to the restrictions imposed by government due to the prevailing condition of the country. This insightful session was conducted by the Dr. Namal Wijesinghe who's serving at the Kothalawala defense university hospital currently.


As Pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed, increasing diabetes awareness can inform people about probable signs and measures to lower their own risk. So in order to educate the oblivious people especially the youngsters and adults who are vulnerable for diabetes, we thought of having an awareness session as the first phase of Diabcure 4.0 which is a dire need of the society.     

Dr.Namal Wijesinghe preside over this perspicacious session by pointing out the vital need to have concern on diabetes through the clarification of symptoms, causes, nature of diabetes. Complications that might arrive and the methods to prevent and to have treatments was also elaborated by him in an insightful way.       


So, with a total of nearly 288 people in attendance through both the platforms zoom and Facebook, the session drew to a close with the message of avoid sweetness for your betterment and lots of positive feedbacks about the session. With that the first phase of Diabcure 4.0 came to an end with the utmost support given by the club officials and members.

Second phase of the diabcure will be a medical checkup programme facilitating many medical services to the community. Even if your diabetes is under control, you still can face many issues so that is why it is crucial for people to have a routine checkup.Latest clinical technology is being thrown at the health care industry at a rapid rate. So maintaining equipment efficiency is critical for providing greater treatment while reducing expenses. So as the third phase, we would be providing medical instruments such as glucometers, insulin carriers to a hospital in negambo area.


So with that, the Diabcure team , Leo Janith Chathurka as the chairperson , Leo Ridmi Senarath as the Secretary, Leo Udeshi Ganegoda as the Treasurer, and  Leo Malshi Karunarathne as the Co- Secretary are declaring the endiment of the first phase with the hope of your support on the upcoming phases of Diabcure 4.0 with an ending note, “Let’s Dia-Beat This!”.
