Diabetes is a chronic disease that is characterized by increased levels of blood sugar (glycemia).A chronic disease is one that is not cured but with adequate monitoring and treatment the person with diabetes can prevent complications and lead a normal life.It is estimated that diabetes affects more than 3,000,000 people in our country and since for several years it remains silent, approximately half of those who suffer from it, do not know their condition.

Diabetes can occur for several years silently.This means that sometimes it does not present symptoms, but over time they can appear: increased thirst, weight loss, increase in appetite, increased production of urine and dry mouth.From the entity it is recommended that given the appearance of these symptoms it is important to perform medical control.

The talk-workshop is intended for patients, family and general public, with free admission.
