In an effort to close the knowledge gaps on diabetes, the Health Promotion Board will be launching a Diabetes Education Campaign. Titled "Diabetes Be-aWare", the Campaign aims to increase awareness of diabetes as a serious disease with severe health complications, encourage early detection, and to encourage optimal management of diabetes among those already diagnosed with the disease.

The campaign will be launched on 07 June 2008 at Suntec City Mall Tropics Atrium with an interactive road-show, featuring exhibitions, skits and quizzes on diabetes.

The road-show will subsequently travel to 4 heartland malls to promote the campaign messages.
