Kids Trade in Halloween Candy to Fight Diabetes

Bronx Voice

November 3, 2024



BRONX - Montefiore’s Halloween Candy Exchange encourages children with diabetes to enjoy Halloween festivities and Learn about diabetes management.




Diabetes among youth is on the rise, in fact a recent CDC report suggests diabetes in young people is projected to increase by about 70% by 2060.

 

Every year providers in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) coordinate a special Halloween Candy Exchange, to share education and resources with families about diabetes management. After trick-or-treating with friends, children with diabetes put their costumes back on, and bring in the candy they collected to exchange it for a toy or gift card. The children also enjoy arts and crafts, a photo booth and healthy snacks.


 

The specialists at CHAM want children with diabetes to enjoy Halloween with their peers, so they created this event to allow kids to go trick-or-treating and then hand over the sugary, sticky stash in exchange for a healthier treat. The educational aspects of the event teach the children how to be healthy and manage their condition year-round.

 

This event is part of a series of educational events and activities throughout American Diabetes Month, hosted by specialists throughout Montefiore. For the complete calendar of events, visit: American Diabetes Awareness Month - Montefiore Einstein Events Calendar
