The Edgar Diabetes and Obesity Research Centre at the University of Otago is supporting Sneaker Friday 2021
Nationwide
The Edgar Diabetes and Obesity Research Centre (EDOR) is based at the University of Otago (www.otago.ac.nz/diabetes). In 2020 we partnered with Diabetes NZ to commission the Economic and Social Cost of Type 2 Diabetes report, which showed that better footcare for those living with diabetes in Aotearoa New Zealand could prevent up to 600 amputations per year.
EDOR is supporting Sneaker Friday and we encourage all University departments to wear their sneakers on Friday 19 November to raise awareness of this important issue.
