Diabetes is becoming more common among young adults, and it can open the gate to long-term health issues like heart disease and kidney damage.

The risks are real — but prevention often starts with simple daily habits and small nutrition choices that add up over time.

This World Diabetes Day, we’re highlighting practical ways to lower diabetes risk and protect your kidneys through smarter eating. No strict diets, no complicated rules — just real-life tips you can actually use.

We spoke with Michelle Perera, Senior Dietitian from Food and Nutrition Specialists and a partner dietitian supporting KDF patients. She shares clear, down-to-earth advice on eating well and managing risk — including things many young people wonder about:
• what to eat when you’re out with friends
• whether that bubble tea puts you at risk
• whether fruits are really as healthy as they seem

Follow these tips and you might notice yourself feeling lighter, healthier, and just a little more proud of the choices you’re making.

👉 Watch on to learn practical, everyday tips you can start using right away for better health.

Healthy eating, regular exercise, and routine health check-ups can go a long way in protecting your health, including your kidneys, and preventing complications 💪

Did you know that 1 in 12 people in Singapore are affected by diabetes?
Having diabetes means your body struggles to control blood sugar levels, and over time, this can put serious strain on your kidneys.

When blood sugar stays high, it damages the tiny filters that keep your kidneys working properly — increasing the risk of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) if not managed well.

Your daily habits truly matter.
💚 Eat balanced
🏃 Stay active
🩺 Get screened regularly
Because prevention starts with awareness and action.

Learning, laughter, and connection — all in a day. 💙

Twice a year, our patients step out of the dialysis centre for a day that nourishes not just the body, but the mind and spirit too. This round, we had the biggest turnout of over 200 patients and caregivers!

Yesterday’s outing was one such day. We began the morning at HomeTeamNS Khatib, where LTA Ng from the 3rd Singapore Civil Defence Force Division HQ, Community Engagement Branch, shared practical lessons on fire safety — from preventing potential fire hazards to what to do in the event of a fire, especially for patients with limited mobility. These sessions complement our regular fire drills at KDF centres and empower patients and caregivers with life-saving knowledge. 🚒

The afternoon brought a refreshing change of pace at the newly revamped Sentosa Oceanarium. Surrounded by family and the serene beauty of marine life, our patients rediscovered a sense of wonder, laughter, and calm that only the sea can bring. 🐠

At KDF, we believe that care extends beyond dialysis. Through education, companionship, and shared experiences, we nurture not only healthier kidneys — but a stronger sense of community.

A heartfelt thank you to our CabbyCare volunteers from ComfortDelGro Taxi — all 53 of them — for ferrying our wheelchair-bound patients safely to and from the event. And to our Patient Welfare and Clinical Services teams, for making this day possible.

Your dedication continues to uplift the body, mind, and spirit of our patients. 💙
