DDI and Blue Circle sign agreement

Dasman Diabetes Institute (DDI), which was founded by Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS) signed an agreement with Blue Circle to offer blood glucose monitors and its consumables at a minimal cost for patients with diabetes. Blue Circle is a voluntary team of young adults with different backgrounds and various experiences, working together to impact the lives of young people with diabetes by offering support and improving their physical, social and mental well-being as well as change the misconception of diabetes in society. Both the Dasman Diabetes Institute and Blue Circle through this collaboration will also offer training and education on how to use these monitors.

This initiative aims to promote frequent blood glucose checking to make sure patients can do that themselves at their convenience, which helps better control their diabetes. This stems from the belief of the Institute that self-care is essential in the comprehensive approach of the management of diabetes, where the patient is involved and empowered to partake in his/her treatment plan.
