In Lipetsk, a preventive campaign " NO diabetes!»

18.11.2019

On November 13, 2019, the Lipetsk State Technical University held a preventive action " NO Diabetes!", dedicated to the World Diabetes Day. More than 200 people took part in the campaign, including 93 people who underwent medical examinations.

The main purpose of the event is to raise awareness of young people about the risk factors for developing diabetes and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Within the framework of the campaign, all interested students and the teaching staff of LGTU could make an express blood test and determine the level of glucose, calculate BMI( body mass index), measure blood pressure, undergo an examination on a cardiovisor and smokelizer, as well as get advice from a general practitioner and an endocrinologist based on the results of the diagnosis.

According to Natalia Petrovna Gorbunova, chief freelance endocrinologist of the Lipetsk Region Health Department, " currently, the number of patients with diabetes in our region is 33,800 people, 80-90% of them are patients with type 2 diabetes. Especially the number of patients increases after 45 years, so this age group of people need to monitor their glucose levels and regularly donate blood."

Along with this, increased body weight, abdominal obesity (an increase in subcutaneous fat in the abdomen), a sedentary lifestyle and overeating are also the main factors in the development of type 2 diabetes.

That is why during the campaign, specialists of the Regional Medical and Physical Education Dispensary held consultations with a demonstration of physical exercises for individual classes, and employees of the Lipetsk Regional Center for Medical Prevention organized an information platform with an interactive quiz and the distribution of printed products on the prevention of diabetes and the formation of a healthy lifestyle.

The event was organized by the Lipetsk Regional Center for Medical Prevention together with the Lipetsk Regional Branch of the All-Russian Public Organization of Disabled People "Russian Diabetic Association", the Lipetsk Regional Clinical Hospital, the Lipetsk City Polyclinic No. 2 and No. 7, as well as the Regional medical and Physical Education Dispensary.

World Diabetes Day is held annually in most countries of the world on November 14 - the birthday of the Canadian doctor and physiologist Frederick Bunting, who, together with the doctor Charles Best, played a crucial role in the discovery of insulin — a drug that saves the lives of people with diabetes.

Currently, diabetes mellitus ranks third among the direct causes of death after cardiovascular and oncological diseases, and the incidence rates in various age groups are steadily increasing.
