The Aragonese Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition organizes the Diabetes Tent, on November 14, on the occasion of the celebration of World Diabetes Day, this day, in the Plaza del Pilar, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m..

In this activity, the General Directorate of Public Health, the University of Zaragoza, the City of Zaragoza, and the Association of Diabetics of Zaragoza participates.

For those of Valencia, you are or not in the association.Correos have been sent to all municipalities, to get some monument of each town to be illuminated.Talk to your municipalities, we have to try, we have to make ourselves see !!!!
I already took the proposal to my two Swedish and Sollana towns, to see if we get it.There are already several villages that have joined the proposal and for the first time it has been achieved that the Valencia City Council also illuminates.

To the conferences you can go even if you are not in the association?

@Dori that depends on the act, in general they are all free and open, you would have to ask the organizer, be it Foundation, Association, City Council ...

Maybe someone from the forum can give you more information.;)

OKEY, THANKS @FER

@fer, if you allow me off-topic, this Christmas "The TV3 marathon" dedicates the annual uninterrupted day of diabetes an interrupid day.The funds raised will be allocated, as every year, to research projects.
It is usually a very well done program aimed at becoming aware of the topic on which it deals, although it is in Catalan, of course.

@kraken, nothing of "off-topop", vice versa, enters full in this activity, in fact, I published a topic with details of what was being prepared, I copy it here in case you want to read it.;)

Activities in Barcelona

Thank you for informing us Fer .... I would only ask that anyone come to see "the puppies" detect hypoglycemia, which I have seen, these days, they are fashionable again.It is fine ... to talk about the "free" if you want, or better of the dexcom, of continuous measurement ... to be pressed for the inclusion in the SS ... and that they leave the poor "chuchos"They have more sensible things to do, and in diabetes, nothing is lost.

greetings
