Doha, Qatar: The Diabetes Qatar (DQ), with support from Dolphin Energy, successfully hosted the “Tahadi Camp” at Park Hyatt Doha – Msheireb from October 26 to 28. 

The three-day camp welcomed 24 children aged 12 to 16 living with diabetes, offering a dynamic programme filled with education, interaction, awareness, and recreational activities. 

The camp aimed to equip participants with essential skills to manage diabetes confidently and independently. Through hands-on workshops, the children learned how to monitor blood sugar levels, respond to fluctuations, and accurately calculate food and carbohydrate intake. 

These practical lessons were designed to strengthen their ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle and take control of their condition. 

Beyond the medical focus, the camp fostered a supportive environment where participants could connect with peers who share similar experiences. This helped reduce feelings of isolation and encouraged a sense of belonging and optimism. The programme featured educational sessions, sports activities, and group competitions that blended fun with valuable learning.
