7 out of 10 people with diabetes are at risk

According to the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 , 7 out of 10 Mexicans living with diabetes will have some complication like blindness , loss of all skin sensation, as well as the amputation of your feet and / or legs, because you have no control over your glucose levels. Diabetes care is key at all times.


For its part, the medical Marcela Vega , owner of the Academic Management of the Mexican Diabetes Federation , it states:


"This not only implies serious damage to the health of those who live with diabetes , but also, each complication generates multiple problems that disrupt the patient's entire life, and can damage aspects such as autonomy, ability to work, their economy, their self-esteem and their personal relationships.


In order to advise and improve the quality of life of patients and those who live with them, the Mexican Diabetes Federation will hold the XXV National Congress of the Mexican Diabetes Federation, in León, Guanajuato from March 21 to 23.


In this sense, the doctor Vega García emphasizes that, unlike other medical meetings, this also includes presentations for the general public, since the control of diabetes depends, fundamentally, on the knowledge and daily actions carried out by each person .


National and international experts will offer talks for health professionals on the latest advances in pharmacological treatments, physical activity , scientific research and nutritional aspects.


"We invite anyone interested in obtaining more information and / or sign up to this event to visit the website fmdiabetes.org/congreso or to communicate to 5511-4200. Do not forget that every action can improve the quality of life of those who have diabetes or permanently deteriorate their health; it is in our hands to change the predictions regarding diabetes in our country, "says Vega García.
