天使足跡
Angel Footprints
由 2007 年一個糖尿病人生活體驗營開始，到今天連繫世界各地華人糖友 —— 糖尿天使走過的每一步，都離不開病友、家屬、義工、醫護人員、合作夥伴及支持者的同行與信任。
From a small diabetes living experience camp in 2007 to a community connecting Chinese-speaking people living with diabetes around the world — every step of our journey has been made possible by our members, their families, volunteers, healthcare professionals, partners and supporters.
糖尿病人生活體驗營
糖尿病人生活體驗營
輕鬆迎糖尿．創造新生活
2007年，創辦人 Kammie 以個人名義舉辦了首次兩日一夜「糖尿病人生活體驗營」，透過遊戲、生活體驗及簡單易明的糖尿病教育，讓病友在輕鬆的環境中學習如何將血糖管理融入日常生活，包括增加活動量、認識飲食與血糖的關係，以及透過血糖監測了解身體的變化。
不少參加者在營後才發現，與糖尿病共處並不代表生活只有「戒」與限制；掌握正確知識，病友一樣可以重拾生活的樂趣。
這次生活體驗營成為「糖尿天使」誕生的重要起點——可以說，沒有這個生活體驗營，就沒有今天的糖尿天使。
糖尿天使正式成立
2007 | Angel of Diabetes Was Founded
生活體驗營反應熱烈，讓創辦人 Kammie 更深信病友需要一個可以互相支持、持續學習糖尿病知識的平台，因此決定成立一個病友組織，將糖尿病教育延續下去。
「糖尿天使」這個名字，正正源自參加生活體驗營的病友。營後，病友親切地稱 Kammie 為「糖尿天使」，因為從她的糖尿病教育中，他們重新認識與糖尿病共處的生活，就像有一位天使陪伴在身旁，為他們帶來希望、快樂和健康。這份來自病友的心意，最終成為了組織的名字。
糖尿天使首個會址設於油麻地，有了一個可讓大家聚腳的地方，我們開始定期舉辦糖尿病教育課堂，讓病友一起學習、交流，彼此支持。
The overwhelming response to the Diabetes Lifestyle Camp strengthened founder Kammie’s belief that people living with diabetes needed a platform where they could support one another and continue learning about diabetes. This inspired her to establish a patient organisation dedicated to continuing diabetes education.
The name “Angel of Diabetes” actually came from the participants of the Lifestyle Camp. After the camp, they affectionately began calling Kammie their “Angel of Diabetes”. Through her diabetes education, they discovered a new way of living with diabetes — as if an angel were walking alongside them, bringing hope, happiness and better health. This heartfelt name given by the participants eventually became the name of the organisation.
Angel of Diabetes established its first centre in Yau Ma Tei, providing a place where members could gather. From there, we began holding regular diabetes education classes, bringing people together to learn, share experiences and support one another.
持續的病友教育
2008 | Ongoing Diabetes Education
陪伴病友，從課堂開始
Supporting Our Members Through Learning
自2008年起，糖尿天使在中心定期舉辦不同的糖尿病教育課堂，內容涵蓋飲食、運動、血糖管理及日常生活等，幫助病友掌握實用的糖尿病知識，學習如何將血糖管理融入生活。
課堂不只是學習知識的地方，也是病友相聚、交流和互相支持的空間。多年來，課程內容隨著病友的需要不斷更新，但我們希望陪伴病友學習與糖尿病共處的初心，一直沒有改變。
Since 2008, Angel of Diabetes has been offering regular diabetes education classes at our centre, covering nutrition, exercise, blood glucose management and everyday living. These classes provide practical knowledge to help people living with diabetes integrate diabetes management into their daily lives.
Our classes are more than just a place to learn. They also provide a space for members to meet, share experiences and support one another. Over the years, our programmes have continued to evolve with the changing needs of our members, but our commitment to helping people live well with diabetes has remained unchanged.
《糖友之訊》創刊
2008 | Launch of Diabetic Message
為了將糖尿病教育帶給更多病友及市民，糖尿天使於2008年創刊《糖友之訊》（Diabetic Message），透過簡單實用的內容，分享糖尿病知識、健康食譜、生活資訊及病友故事。
《糖友之訊》每年於3月、7月及11月出版，設有實體版及電子版，免費供市民閱讀，讓糖尿病教育從課堂延伸至生活。
To bring diabetes education to more people living with diabetes and the wider community, Angel of Diabetes launched Diabetic Message in 2008, sharing practical and easy-to-understand information on diabetes, healthy recipes, everyday living and stories from people living with diabetes.
Published three times a year in March, July and November, Diabetic Message is available free of charge in both print and digital formats, extending diabetes education beyond the classroom and into everyday life.
「糖尿天使」陪着你走世界糖尿病日嘉年華會
2009 | “Angel of Diabetes – Walking with You” World Diabetes Day Carnival
2009年，糖尿天使首次舉辦大型世界糖尿病日嘉年華會。活動沒有交由公關公司策劃，而是由創辦人 Kammie 聯同一班病友從構思、籌備到執行，一手一腳共同完成。
我們希望透過行動讓社會看見，長期病患者不只是接受幫助的一群，只要給予機會，同樣有能力發揮所長、承擔責任，甚至凝聚力量為社會作出貢獻。
活動當日，100名病友一同測量血糖，帶出血糖監測對糖尿病管理的重要性，並邀請藝人鄭欣宜小姐擔任「糖心大使」，與我們一起呼籲大眾關注糖尿病。
這次活動不但讓更多市民認識糖尿天使，更讓我們第一次向社會展示病友的力量，也為日後每年的「糖尿天使」陪着你走世界糖尿病日活動揭開序幕。
In 2009, Angel of Diabetes organised its first large-scale World Diabetes Day Carnival. Rather than engaging a public relations company, founder Kammie and a group of members took on the entire event themselves — from planning and preparation to execution.
Through this event, we wanted to show that people living with chronic conditions are not simply recipients of support. Given the opportunity, they too can contribute their talents, take on responsibilities and come together to make a positive contribution to society.
On the day of the event, 100 people living with diabetes checked their blood glucose together, highlighting the importance of blood glucose monitoring in diabetes management. We were also joined by artist Joyce Cheng, who served as our “Diabetes Heart Ambassador”, helping us raise public awareness of diabetes.
The event not only introduced Angel of Diabetes to a wider audience, but also gave us our first opportunity to showcase the strength and capabilities of people living with diabetes. It marked the beginning of our annual “Angel of Diabetes – Walking with You” World Diabetes Day activities.
關愛糖尿病服務
2012 | Caring for Diabetes Programme
自2012年起，糖尿天使推出「關愛糖尿病服務」，每月走進不同社區，免費為市民提供糖尿病初步風險評估，讓更多人及早認識自己的糖尿病風險，提高對糖尿病的警覺。
除了社區服務外，我們亦接受企業及不同機構邀請，將糖尿病風險評估及健康教育帶到不同工作場所及社群。
多年來，這項服務獲信諾環球保險支持，讓我們能將服務帶進更多社區。自服務開展以來，累計受惠市民已超過 500,000人次。
Since 2012, Angel of Diabetes has been bringing the Caring for Diabetes Programme into different communities each month, providing free preliminary diabetes risk assessments to help raise public awareness and encourage people to better understand their risk of developing diabetes.
Beyond community outreach, we also work with companies and organisations to bring diabetes risk assessments and health education directly into workplaces and different communities.
Over the years, the programme has received support from Cigna Worldwide Insurance, enabling us to reach even more communities. Since its launch, the programme has recorded more than 500,000 attendances.
遷入荔景新會址
2013 | A Place That Helped Us Carry On
2013年，糖尿天使正式遷入荔景邨日景樓地下的新會址。這是我們向香港房屋委員會申請獲批的慈善團體舖位，亦成為糖尿天使發展歷程中一個重要的轉捩點。
在此之前，我們一直以市場租金租用油麻地的寫字樓，有限的資源大部分用於租金，會務發展受到不少限制。新會址的優惠租金大大減輕了營運負擔，讓我們可以將更多資源投放於聘請職員、糖尿病教育及服務發展，逐步建立一個更穩定的團隊。
這個會址或許不在最方便、最繁華的位置，但對糖尿天使而言，我們一直非常珍惜。它不只是一個辦公及病友聚腳的地方，更給予我們一個可以安定下來、繼續成長的空間。
慈善團體舖位的申請需要經過相關部門審批，成功獲批對當時仍在成長中的糖尿天使而言，也是一份對我們社區工作的肯定。
如果沒有這個小小的舖位，也許就沒有今天的糖尿天使。
In 2013, Angel of Diabetes moved into its new centre on the ground floor of Yat King House, Lai King Estate. The premises were allocated to us by the Hong Kong Housing Authority under its concessionary letting scheme for charitable organisations, marking an important turning point in our journey.
Before then, we had been renting an office in Yau Ma Tei at market rates, with much of our limited resources going towards rent. The concessionary rent at our new centre significantly eased the financial burden, allowing us to devote more resources to building our team, expanding diabetes education and developing our services.
Our centre may not be in the most convenient or prominent location, but it has always been very precious to us. More than simply an office and a place for our members to gather, it gave Angel of Diabetes a stable home where we could continue to grow and move forward.
Securing these premises involved an application and assessment process by the relevant authorities. For a small organisation that was still growing at the time, being granted the premises was also a meaningful recognition of the work we had been doing in the community.
Without this little place, there might not be the Angel of Diabetes we know today.
School Sugar Free Day 校園無糖體驗日
2015 | School Sugar Free Day
糖尿天使走訪不同中小學，透過互動講座、遊戲及午餐體驗，讓學生認識「游離糖」及過量攝取糖分對健康的影響，並學習如何在日常生活中作出更健康的飲食選擇。
我們希望從小培養學生減少過量糖分攝取的習慣，降低肥胖風險，並及早建立對糖尿病預防及健康生活的意識。
Angel of Diabetes visited primary and secondary schools to engage students through interactive talks, games and lunchtime activities, helping them understand free sugars, the health impact of excessive sugar intake, and how to make healthier food choices in everyday life.
Through the programme, we aim to encourage healthier eating habits from an early age, reduce excessive sugar intake and the risk of obesity, while building greater awareness of diabetes prevention and healthy living.
與病友共享快樂時光
Enjoying Happy Moments Together
多年來，糖尿天使不定期舉辦大型聚餐及慶祝活動，與病友一起共享生活中的快樂時光。
每次聚餐的菜單都經過悉心設計，以高纖、低糖、低脂為原則，讓病友在享受美食與歡聚的同時，也體驗如何將健康飲食融入生活。
因為控糖，不只是管理血糖，更要懂得享受生活。
Over the years, Angel of Diabetes has organised special gatherings and celebrations, bringing our members together to enjoy good food, laughter and happy moments.
Each menu is thoughtfully designed with high-fibre, low-sugar and low-fat choices, allowing everyone to enjoy the occasion while experiencing how healthy eating can be part of everyday life.
Because managing diabetes is not just about blood glucose — it is also about enjoying life.
大學研究與糖尿病教育
University Research & Diabetes Education
自2008年起，糖尿天使開始與不同大學合作，協助招募病友參與糖尿病相關研究，讓病友有機會參與研究之餘，也為糖尿病教育及管理累積更多實證經驗。
2012｜香港理工大學
糖尿天使參與「糖尿病教育對糖尿病人健康影響」研究，由創辦人 Kammie 擔任糖尿病教育課程總監及導師，為二型糖尿病參加者提供有系統的糖尿病教育。研究結果顯示，糖尿病教育對參加者的健康帶來正面影響，其中在糖化血紅素及體重方面的改善尤其顯著。
2023｜香港大學
糖尿天使參與由香港賽馬會慈善信託基金支持的「減走糖尿」研究項目，對象為肥胖的前期糖尿病人士。我們的團隊負責糖尿病教育及為參加者提供為期一年的跟進，包括個別營養諮詢、運動課堂、網上教學短片及烹飪示範等，協助參加者將健康管理融入日常生活。
Since 2008, Angel of Diabetes has collaborated with different universities, helping to recruit people living with diabetes for research studies. These collaborations have given participants opportunities to contribute to diabetes research while helping build further evidence and experience in diabetes education and management.
2012 | The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Angel of Diabetes participated in a research study examining the impact of diabetes education on the health of people living with diabetes. Founder Kammie served as the Programme Director and Educator for the diabetes education component, providing structured education to participants with type 2 diabetes.
The study found that diabetes education had a positive impact on participants’ health, with particularly significant improvements in HbA1c and body weight.
2023 | The University of Hong Kong
Angel of Diabetes participated in the “Diabetes Prevention” research project supported by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, involving people with prediabetes and obesity.
Our team provided diabetes education and followed participants for one year through individual nutrition consultations, exercise classes, online educational videos and cooking demonstrations, helping them incorporate healthier lifestyle practices into their everyday lives.
由香港向世界出發
From Hong Kong to the World
聯繫全球華人糖友社群
Connecting Chinese Diabetes Communities Worldwide
隨著網上教育及社交平台的發展，糖尿天使的糖尿病教育逐漸由香港走向世界。自2020年起，我們將醫生講座製作成網上教育影片，突破地域限制，讓世界各地的華人都能接觸以廣東話為主的糖尿病健康資訊。
2021年，創辦人 Kammie 獲邀接受網上健康平台《健康旦》訪問，分享糖尿病及控糖經驗，影片瀏覽次數突破 2,000,000，讓更多來自世界各地的華人認識糖尿天使，也成為我們連繫海外華人糖友的一個重要契機。
隨著海外糖友不斷增加，我們亦透過由創辦人 Kammie 主理的 Facebook 糖友群組，建立跨越地域的交流平台，讓病友互相鼓勵、互相扶持、分享經驗，在彼此的經歷中一起學習。
今天，糖尿天使的會員及支持者已遍及世界不同地方。對不少居於海外的華人而言，以熟悉的語言接觸糖尿病教育並不容易，因此我們希望繼續從香港出發，將實用而可靠的糖尿病資訊帶給更多華人。
由香港向世界出發，將世界各地的華人糖友聯繫在一起。
無論身在何方，控糖路上，糖尿天使與你一起同行。
With the growth of online education and social media, Angel of Diabetes has gradually extended its diabetes education beyond Hong Kong to reach Chinese communities around the world. Since 2020, we have transformed our doctor-led talks into online educational videos, breaking geographical barriers and making Cantonese-language diabetes education accessible to Chinese audiences wherever they may be.
In 2021, founder Kammie was invited to appear on the online health platform HiEggo (健康旦), where she shared her experience and insights on living with and managing diabetes. The interview received more than 2,000,000 views, introducing Angel of Diabetes to a much wider Chinese audience worldwide and becoming an important milestone in connecting with overseas Chinese communities.
As our overseas community continued to grow, we also extended this connection through a Facebook group led by founder Kammie, creating a space where people living with diabetes across different countries can share experiences, learn from one another, offer encouragement and support each other along the way.
Today, Angel of Diabetes has members and supporters in different parts of the world. For many Chinese people living overseas, access to diabetes education in a familiar language can be limited. This makes our mission even more meaningful — to continue reaching out from Hong Kong and bring practical, reliable diabetes education to Chinese communities around the world.
From Hong Kong to the world, connecting Chinese diabetes communities across borders.
Wherever you are, on your journey with diabetes, Angel of Diabetes walks with you.
糖尿病教育走進書本
Diabetes Education in Print
除了課堂、活動及《糖友之訊》，創辦人 Kammie 亦將多年來與糖尿病同行及病友教育的經驗化成文字，分別於 2014、2018及2024年 出版三本以糖尿病教育為主題的著作，將實用的控糖知識帶給更多讀者。
三本著作的收益均撥捐糖尿天使，支持我們繼續推動糖尿病教育工作，讓每一本書不只是知識的分享，也成為延續糖尿天使使命的一份力量。
未完待續……
The Journey Continues…
由2007年一個糖尿病人生活體驗營開始，到今天連繫世界各地華人糖友，糖尿天使走過的每一步，都離不開病友、家屬、義工、醫護人員、合作夥伴及支持者的同行與信任。
我們深信，糖尿病教育不只是知識的傳遞，更是希望的分享與力量的延續。
未來，糖尿天使將繼續秉持初心，陪伴更多糖友活出健康、自信而有希望的人生。
因為控糖路上，您並不孤單。
From a small Diabetes Living Experience Camp in 2007 to a community that connects Chinese-speaking people living with diabetes around the world, every step of Angel of Diabetic’s journey has been made possible through the trust and support of people living with diabetes, their families, volunteers, healthcare professionals, partners, and supporters.
We believe that diabetes education is not only about sharing knowledge, but also about sharing hope and empowering lives.
As we look to the future, Angel of Diabetic will continue to stay true to its mission—supporting more people living with diabetes to live healthy, confident, and hopeful lives.
Because no one should have to walk the diabetes journey alone.
