Diabetes is a serious chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. When this disease is not monitored or poorly balanced, it can be a source, in the more or less long term, of major consequences on the body. It is insidious enough to sometimes show no particular problem at the beginning of its installation, an abnormal sensation of intense thirst being one of the very first warning signals. Screening is the solution allowing early diagnosis, in order to prevent its development and guarantee the patient a better quality of life.
Several professionals present
It is as part of World Diabetes Day on Thursday, November 14, that the hospital center's diabetology department will offer, in the hall of the establishment, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., to track the disease. A team made up of dieticians, physical activity teachers, nurses and caregivers will be available to interested people to detect, from a drop of blood, the possible presence of diabetes. These staff will answer questions and talk about new techniques and the progress of treatments.
