DHAKA : To mark “World Diabetes Day” on November 14, a
special awareness marathon titled “Emlino DiaBeat Run” is set to be held at
Hatirjheel in the capital, aimed at raising diabetes awareness and encouraging
a healthy lifestyle.
The registration is now open to the general public for
this 7.5-kilometer run, to be held in the scenic surroundings of Hatirjheel on
November 14. Any health-conscious individual can complete registration via the
designated link.
Senior officials of ACME were recently present at an event
organized on this occasion by ACME’s DiaCare, an initiative of The ACME
Laboratories Ltd. Speakers included Laboratories Ltd. Chairman Nagina Afzal
Sinha, Managing Director Tasneem Sinha, Additional Deputy Managing Director Md.
Hasibur Rahman, and Deputy Managing Directors Tanveer Sinha, Sabrina Juned, and
Jahanara Mizan Sinha. Also speaking were Executive Director of Sales and Distribution
Md. Ferdous Khan, Head of Marketing and Senior General Manager Mohammad

During the event, The ACME Laboratories Ltd’s Managing
Director Tasneem Sinha welcomed this public-welfare initiative and shared
practical experiences on how diabetes affects daily life and how regular
walking can help keep it under control.
Also present as a representative of the medical community,
long-distance runner Dr. Uzzwal Kumar Mallick, founder and admin of Doctors Run
said that, “diabetes is a long-term health condition that can largely be kept
under control through the right lifestyle and physical activity. At least 30
minutes of walking or jogging daily significantly reduces the risk of diabetes,
and marathons of this kind will inspire ordinary people to step outside and
become active.”
Experienced runners from the running community also took
part in the event. Among them, Mehedi Hasan Noyon, a runner who has completed a
200-kilometer marathon shared his experience, saying that “keeping the body
active is the first requirement for preventing any long-term illness, and that
this marathon organized for diabetes awareness will have a positive impact on
society.”
