2025 eye health & blood sugar community screening report

The Bermuda Diabetes Association opened its doors to the public on November 12 and 13, 2025, for two days of free eye health and blood sugar screenings, delivered in collaboration with the Lahey Hospital & Medical Center. The initiative combined early detection, education, and direct support, reaching dozens of community members and identifying individuals who may otherwise have gone undiagnosed or untreated.

The screening results reinforced how critical early intervention can be, with nearly half of participants showing signs of at least one of the screened conditions and 21 percent requiring follow-up care with an ophthalmologist within one to three months.
