The Carrasco and Formiguera Foundation constituted in 1989 bears that name in memory of the illustrious Catalan Clinical Diabetologist Rossend Carrasco I Formiguera, a pioneer in the use of insulin in Catalonia and Spain.
Since its inception, the Carrasco and Formiguera Foundation has dedicated itself to the comprehensive care of people with diabetes, to the training of medical professionals in educational matters and the research of diabetes education.A quarter of a century working for and for diabetes.
This year, specifically on June 27 and 28, he turns 25 since its constitution.Silver weddings that are going to celebrate with a scientific day in which among others will participate the prestigious Dr. Ramón Gomis (director of IDIBAPS), a reference in the world of diabetes in Spain or the soprano Monserrat Caballe.The day will conclude with the theatrical representation of a text by Susana Martínez who through the art of the scene will tell how the history of diabetes has been.
Today in that review that Canal Diabetes has been doing about the main actors of diabetes in Spain, we could not ignore the Carrasco Foundation and form their work during those years.
One of its most outstanding voices is that of the endrocrinologist and president of the Carrasco and Formiguera Foundation, Daniel Figuerola.A qualified voice to talk about education in diabetes.With him in his office of the Carrasco Foundation and Formiguera we were dialying a few weeks ago.Dr. Figuerola told us about the need to return to integral medicine where even disciplines such as music should have a presence.He also presented his concept of free, basic patient in good diabetes management and the importance of all being potential diabetes educators and that subject is not restricted to a minority.
A very satisfactory meeting for the Diabetes Canal team and whose message in the video that we attach is useful for the large number of people who live with diabetes.
