Diabetes 2, important blood sugar but also lifestyles

In type 2 diabetes, keeping blood sugar under control is important but not enough. It is necessary to maintain an adequate lifestyle and manage the condition at 360 degrees taking into consideration also important cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and arterial pressure. The need to "go further" is centered on the campaign presented today by Msd Italy for patients and caregivers.

The share of people with diabetes who claim to be in good health is lower than the average of the population, the experts reminded the presentation of the campaign - and this is due to the fact that diabetes is often accompanied by other diseases such as obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, kidney problems. "It is not enough to say 'diabetes' to identify a patient and it must never be forgotten that the patients are not all the same - explains Domenico Mannino Director of the UOC" Bianchi Melacrino Morelli "Metropolitan Hospital of Reggio Calabria - for this reason the approach is more and more personalized and the bond that is tightened with the ever-tightening diabetologist. Patients ask for 360 ° advice because diabetes is something that fills a person's life, in all its aspects. diabetologist, increasingly important and we must take this into account ". (ANSA).
