𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗼 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 Today, on #WorldFoodDay, EFAD reflects on the 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, which emphasizes that every European citizen should have access to safe and appropriate nutritional care provided by dietitians. This commitment aligns with our vision for a healthier population, ensuring 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱. Yet, the global picture reminds us of persistent hunger. According to FAO, despite producing enough food to feed the world, around 733 million people still face hunger, exacerbated by weather shocks, conflicts, economic challenges, inequality, and the pandemic. This deeply impacts vulnerable communities, many of whom are agricultural households, highlighting the widening disparities across and within nations. In Europe, #FoodInsecurity is also a growing concern, highlighting the urgency of addressing these inequalities and ensuring that everyone regardless, has the right to adequate and nutritious food. On this day, let’s renew our efforts to ensure that everyone, everywhere, can exercise their right to adequate food—𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵—and strive to support sustainable and resilient food systems for all. 📌 https://lnkd.in/dQb-C9qy

🩸 World Diabetes Day 2024: Dietitians Supporting #DiabetesCare & #Wellbeing 🌍 This #WorldDiabetesDay, EFAD and ESDN Diabetes aim to highlight the essential role of dietitians in managing diabetes effectively and enhancing well-being. Dietitians support people with diabetes in achieving balanced blood glucose levels and building healthier, more fulfilling lives through personalized guidance and practical support. 📢 Special Focus: Diabulimia in Type 1 Diabetes 📢 We’re also raising awareness of Diabulimia, which affects 20-30% of those with T1DM and yet remains widely under-recognized. By skipping or under-dosing insulin, individuals risk serious complications like ketoacidosis. 📊 Our Diabulimia infographic offers insights for dietitians to identify warning signs, such as unpredictable blood glucose patterns, and provides tools for early detection, including the DEPS-R screening tool recommended for ages 12+. 🔗 Access the infographic and join us in advocating for accessible, innovative dietetic care and technology to improve diabetes self-management this #WDD2024.
