Berlin-Chemie Menarini’s Post

🌍 On November 14th, we observe World Diabetes Day, an important occasion that commemorates the discovery of insulin by Frederick G. Banting and Charles Best and strives to raise awareness about diabetes. 👉 Currently, 537 million people worldwide live with diabetes, and alarmingly, about 50% of cases remain undiagnosed. Type 2 diabetes makes up over 90% of all cases and can often be delayed or prevented. Major risk factors include family history, lack of physical activity, and obesity. The consequences of diabetes are severe, with three people dying every hour due to related complications. Prevention, an early diagnosis and effective disease management are essential not only to avoid complications but also to ensure a better quality of life for those living with diabetes. ⚠️ 💙Recognizing the warning signs of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes – such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, recurring infections, and unexplained weight loss – is crucial. If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a doctor for early intervention.💙 #WeAreMenarini #BerlinChemie #Menarini #WorldDiabetesDay #DiabetesAwareness
