Today, 14 November 2009, World Diabetes Day, as established by the United Nations Resolution on Diabetes. I want to address all the following message ...

The blue circle, the symbol of World Diabetes Day

This date is a great opportunity for the 300 million people with diabetes worldwide, a chance for redemption. The World Day offers us the opportunity to shine the spotlight on this scourge that still kills today, especially in poor countries: it is a scandal. We bring to our support people with diabetes with positive messages of the beauty of life. But ask in a loud voice the commitment of institutions and knowledge about the treatment, the same for all the assistance, and medical research, putting the individual at the center of everything. Prevention should be promoted where possible, educating on healthy lifestyles in the 'power and in' physical activity, especially for young people. It is necessary to sensitize the society and the media, by conveying the rights of people with diabetes to reduce ignorance, injustice, and the prejudices that still exist today anachronistic.
A better future for diabetes is possible, for everyone's build it together.

This World Diabetes Day to be a party: we participate in activities in piazzas and associations, let's hear it. The blue circle is the symbol that identifies diabetes: indossiamolo diffondiamolo and everywhere, even on the internet.

Here ..., I can only wish all people with diabetes (I do not like using the word "diabetes") and all the readers a good World Diabetes Day!

In Mantua, the association will AAGD testing of blood glucose throughout the day of 14 in Piazza Marconi, also distributing informational material to raise public awareness. Right in the town of Virgil is to report the collaboration with local institutions, through the power of the blue lights of the city of Mantua's Palazzo in Via Roma, due to start at 18: a lot of monuments will be illuminated in blue in the world, because the blue circle is the symbol and color of the diabetes that unifies all the initiatives.

We have grown. Among exactly one month, November 14, 2009 will be celebrated throughout the world the World Diabetes Day. On this blog we talked about it often: for example, see this previous article .

As in past years people with diabetes can be heard loudly, with their testimonies and demands, their problems and hopes. The World Diabetes Day, originally promoted by the IDF, today is a celebration officially recognized by a United Nations resolution, and enjoys the patronage of many local, national and international, with a spread in all countries of the world.

There are many events planned to bring to the fore some important issues: prevention, care and rights of diabetes. Locally, thousands of associations organize gazebo and meeting places in city squares, to disseminate correct information among people and to test their blood glucose by performing screening. With the coordination of local authorities will be illuminated in blue hundreds of monuments, to attract attention thanks to the color of the diabetes, or are organized walks along the city streets with banners and balloons blue. All this will happen also in Italy, for years at the forefront of these activities in favor of diabetes, although some activities may be postponed to Sunday 15 for organizational convenience.

Many events will be proposed to transmit positive values that animate many people with diabetes. For example, on November 15 will be repeated in Perugia pedaling the bicycle tour dedicated to diabetes: Diabetes & Associates Cycling along with many other sympathizers also go through a picturesque route passing through Assisi. Me too I had attended last year (see the ' article ) supporting the importance of exercise in diabetes.

This year I will not be in Perugia, but will attend the World Diabetes Day in Rome, where 13 to 15 November there will be celebrations and activities with the group of the Youth Panel, which brings together young people with diabetes from all over Italy, representing a great opportunity initiatives to coordinate some of the youth.
