God wants us to look after our bodies so that we can help to build His Kingdom of Justice, Peace, Truth, Love, Freedom and Forgiveness. The sanctity of life and the dignity of the human person are key social justice principles. We must constantly seek to realise our dignity. Because we are made in the image and likeness of God and are endowed with inherent, inalienable, and inviolable dignity, we have a duty to sustain the integrity of our own bodies/lives.

If untreated, diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. Education is the key to the prevention and management of diabetes. Come and learn more about the different types of diabetes (e.g. Type 1, Type 2, gestational diabetes), prevention and risk reduction strategies, and, for those diagnosed with diabetes, find out more about how to manage your diabetes to prevent short and long term complications related to uncontrolled diabetes.

If you would like CCSJ to organize a similar presentation in your parish, please contact us.
