Dannevirke Lions holding walk to highlight diabetes

It's known as the "hidden disease" to some but around 285,000 New Zealanders are affected by diabetes.

As an ambulance officer, Lions club spokesman Steve St Merat had seen his share of medical issues caused by diabetes.

"It's a very scary thing," he said.

It is one reason the Dannevirke Lions club was holding a walk this Saturday for diabetes prevention.
