Today, on World Diabetes Day, the 3rd grade students of our charter nursery school have taken an important step to learn about this disease in a very special way. Through a creative and educational activity, the little ones have become aware of the importance of taking care of their health and understanding what diabetes is.
WHY IS CELEBRATING WORLD DIABETES DAY SO IMPORTANT?
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects how the body handles blood sugar. According to the Spanish Diabetes Society (SED), our country is second on the list with the highest rate of diabetes in Europe .And it continues to grow, especially with the increase of cases in children and adolescents.
This World Diabetes Day reminds us of the importance of detecting the disease early, promoting healthy habits and ensuring access to appropriate treatment.
Preventing diabetes is possible with a balanced diet, regular exercise and glucose monitoring.
