Sokołów S.A.’s community action #ucieknijcukrzycy (Run from Diabetes)

On 25 May, a first training within the scope of the #ucieknijcukrzycy action for the employees of the company headquarters and the Sokołów Podlaski branch took place. The participants could have their blood sugar levels tested and learn things like how to properly balance their diet to prevent the disease.

The knowledge was provided by dietician Agnieszka Piskała who told the participants about the first symptoms of diabetes, what to do to avoid the disease, and how to create a daily menu — what to eat and what to avoid. Next, the guests met for a shared meal prepared by the Sokołów chef — Dominik Moskalenko.

He presented a set of meals that can be prepared quickly at home. There were sandwiches with Naturrino baked ham which has a very low glycaemic index, crucial in diabetes prevention. There was also beef which low fat content makes it a great choice for diabetic patients. Dominik has also served his guests a simple bavette salad and an eyeround tartare. All recipes are available at www.sokolow.pl.

Diabetes is a problem faced by almost 3 million Poles, with another 3 million being in danger of contracting it. Caring for the health of its employees and their families, the Sokołów Group has launched the #ucieknijcukrzycy community action — a year-round event dedicated to diabetes prevention.
