Participating in Sneaker Friday 2022
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 2022 and we encourage all University departments to wear their sneakers on Friday 18 November to raise awareness of this important issue.

$17,000 was raised thanks to you and others like you! We raised an incredible amount to support those living with Diabetes in Aotearoa.
