World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day

In Italy, the prevalence of diabetes is estimated at about 6 percent, which corresponds to more than 3.5 million people.
Hyperglycemia can be caused by insufficient insulin production (type 1 diabetes) or inadequate insulin action (type 2 diabetes).
Often the presence of hyperglycemia does not give any symptoms or signs except when the disease has already been present for years, which is why it is important to act on prevention!
Classic symptoms include:
- increased thirst and urination
- fatigue
- unsought weight loss
- increased hunger

On the occasion of World Diabetes Day, Tuesday, Nov. 14, you can visit the pharmacy for a free blood glucose measurement.
