A one-day clinic is planned by Fujairah Municipality at Al Ahli Hypermarket to mark World Diabetes Day and to urge people to test the blood sugar level.

Ruwayah Saif Sultan, head of the Health Education Department at Fujairah Hospital, said doctors, nurses and nutrition experts will be available at the hypermarket on Wednesday to offer free services to the public.

"It is a new idea to bring doctors and our outstanding health services to the public who no longer visit us at the hospital. Doctors, nurses and nutrition experts will form a small clinic at the hypermarket to mark World Diabetes Day," said Ruwayah.

It is a call to all diabetics and other people in the emirate to come on Wednesday evening and test the sugar level in their blood.

"Visitors can consult our doctors and nurses and get advice on diet, obesity and how to get rid of extra weight and fat," she added.

Doctors will also measure visitors' height and take their weight to guide them on a healthy life, she added.
