Ontinyent to host Diabetes Awareness Week with free screenings

The Ontinyent City Council is collaborating with local pharmacies, health entities, and educational centers to participate in Community Diabetes Week from November 2 to 6. Under the slogan “Know your risk, care for your health,” the initiative focuses on prevention, early detection, and healthy lifestyle habits.

A central component of the campaign is free diabetes screening available at all pharmacies in Ontinyent throughout the week. For accurate results, residents are advised to attend while fasting, preferably between 9:00 and 10:00 AM.

The program includes an information desk at the Municipal Market on Monday, November 2, and a series of “Workshops for your health” at Casa del Delme from Tuesday to Friday. These sessions will cover physical exercise, emotional well-being, medication usage, and healthy nutrition, led by various professional associations and specialists.
