Diabetes Singapore partnered with the Health Promotion Board to launch a series of diabetes education talks for the Malay-Muslim community during Ramadan. The first session, titled “Muscle Matters: Strength Training for Diabetes”, was conducted by Diabetes Singapore Volunteer Advocate Vanan Govindasamy (Vans the Fitness Guru).
Participants learned how building and maintaining muscle supports blood glucose control and helps prevent and manage type 2 diabetes. The session also included a simple strength-exercise demonstration using everyday household items, showing how small actions can support healthier living.
