Make Your Mark for World Diabetes Day
World Diabetes Day is November 14, 2019, and we’re teaming up with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) to increase awareness around a disease that affects 1 in 11 people.
We’re asking Lions and clubs to participate in a challenge to screen 1 million people for type 2 diabetes. Together, we can educate communities to better understand, prevent and care for diabetes.
Option One
Online Risk Assessment
Finding out if you’re at risk for type 2 diabetes is simple. You can complete the Test2Prevent in roughly 10 minutes and a few clicks—then encourage others to take the assessment.
Option Two
Organize a Service Project
Clubs can make a difference by organizing a screening project in their communities. Get started by using the step-by-step guides and resources provided by Lions International.
Report Your Screening
To reach our goal of 1 million screened, it's important for all of us to report our service. After your club’s screening, be sure to report your activity on MyLion.
Plan Your Service Project
Increase your community's awareness of type 2 diabetes by utilizing one of the two project planners below. Use the additional support documents to help you along the way.
