Participants of the Youth Panel was asked to choose Italian and select three personal messages on diabetes: your thoughts on the priorities that they want to communicate to the public, and the points on which we must act soon.
I thought about it a little. ' These are my three key messages about diabetes, and their explanations:
- Diabetes: The sport is therapy. Like food and insulin a little 'sports should never miss: physical activity is a therapy for diabetes, even if made "in small doses." Do some exercise is essential for anyone to prevent, treat and improve diabetes. Even the sports performance at a competitive level are accessible, and indeed represent a "training" to learn to manage their diabetes.
- Diabetes 250 million times. With diabetes we are not alone: we are many in the world, more and more. Especially in poor countries the situation is tragic, we think to them. By joining forces we can help many people with diabetes. Something must be done to address this pandemic. Because today no longer have to die for diabetes, insulin all have a right to necessary care.
- People with diabetes: Do not call us sick. Those who have diabetes is not an invalid, has no limits to achieve their goals and dreams, indeed, often has an edge, a force that urges us to better meet the challenges of life. So do not call "sick" or "diabetic", but give us the dignity of people with diabetes: send this message to all the positive and put into play to our potential.
