Health Check

Episode 3

Duration: 10 mins

Synopsis: In this fortnightly podcast series on Tuesdays, The Straits Times guides you to healthier living and debunks the myths with expert guests.

This episode targets newly-diagnosed diabetics. How they can work in an exercise routine and balance it with their new condition, or even if they had been very active marathoners previously for example.

Host Ernest Luis, together with The Straits Times' correspondent Joyce Teo and assistant news editor Poon Chian Hui, discuss various tips with Dr Fadzil Hamzah, a Senior Staff Registrar with the Changi Sports Medicine Centre at Changi General Hospital, and a visiting clinician at the Singapore Sports Institute. 

He is also the Director of Community Programmes for Exercise Is Medicine Singapore (EIMS).

Produced by: Ernest Luis, Joyce Teo and Poon Chian Hui
