About Your Carmen Tak
Carmen Tak, a mother from Bloemfontein, is one of thousands of parents in South Africa who have to make decisions every day to support and help her son after he was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes.
Concerned about the local school's capability to manage students with Type-1 diabetes, she decided to establish the Carters Diabetes Awareness Centre that caters for children who suffer from this condition.
She also drive awareness of the condition in her community and Bloemfontein at large.
🌟🎨 FUN, FRIENDSHIP & LEARNING AT CARTER'S BOOK CLUB! 🎨🌟
What a fantastic Saturday we had on 30 May 2026! 😄
Our members were treated to a very special visit from Childline, presented by our very own Wilmina Weitz. The session was both educational and engaging, and the children thoroughly enjoyed learning important life lessons in a fun and interactive way. 💙📚
The excitement continued with plenty of target shooting fun 🎯, energetic dancing 💃🕺, and lots of laughter shared between friends.
One of the most memorable moments of the day was when each child painted their handprint and added their name to our wall. 🖐️🎨 Together, we created a colourful masterpiece that celebrates the unique place each child holds in our Carter's Book Club family.
A day filled with learning, creativity, friendship, and smiles all around! We can't wait for our next adventure together. ❤️

We never realised the importance and impact diabetes has in our society and more so with learners. Not only that, educators were made aware of this dreadful condition and is now more prepared to handle it in the school community. Looking forward to a follow up session

WHAT IS TYPE-1 diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), previously known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic autoimmune condition.
In simple terms: The body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Because of this, the pancreas can no longer produce insulin, a vital hormone the body needs to survive.
