"Jump" Out of Diabetes

Did you know that diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death?

Or that it can lead to blindness, stroke, and kidney failure?

Thankfully, diabetes can be prevented through good diet and exercise!

Recently, MOD participated in the "Jump" Out of Diabetes event for World Diabetes Day!

At Baltimore's Inner Harbor, MOD and other student pharmacists provided jump ropes to passerbys to promote healthy exercise. Jump romping is great cardiovascular exercise for helping with diabetes!

Through this event, MOD and fellow pharmacy students hope to encourage patients to get more active and to make healthier choices in their daily lives.

Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes

Hello everybody!

After a lengthy summer break, MOD is back! Starting off her semester, MOD recently participated in the Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes event! It is a great cause that helps raise money and also create a positive impact on the lives of those who are affected by diabetes.

Special Fact: The Operation Diabetes team of UMB SOP APhA raised over $900 towards their original goal of $800! Congratulations guys!
