People with diabetes should be encouraged and enabled to participate actively in managing and monitoring their condition. Another interactive lecture on Family values and Culture was organized. The resource person for the lecture was Dr. D.P.Sharma, PhD. Human Rights. He elaborated that our family values definition consists of ideas passed down from generation to generation. Three traditional basic tasks in life have been described as work, play and love. There are many activities that fall under these categories. All of them are important and it takes work to balance these tasks. However, we often get caught up in work and other activities and neglect play and love. Without a balanced life of incorporating play and having loving relationships, our lives become stressful and unsatisfying. He ended with a note that “No success in life compensates for failure in the home.”
