The National Diabetes Prevention Week is an opportunity to put this disease, which affects more than 3.5 million people in France, back in the spotlight.
The Association of Diabetics of the Alpes-Maritimes and the east of the Var (AFD 06-83) informed the public at the option of stands installed, this Friday, June 2, on the esplanade of the Bourgada, in Nice.
She is mobilized to answer questions from patients and their families throughout the year.
Where to get tested?
To take stock, you must measure your blood sugar and blood pressure. Occasional screening operations are organized throughout the week in Nice.
Thus, the rue Hancy vaccination center offers blood sugar and blood pressure measurements on Monday June 5, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. as well as Friday June 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Same approach at the social center of Les Moulins, this Tuesday, from 9 to 12 a.m., at the Social center Le village (L’Ariane) Wednesday from 9 to 12 p.m., at the social center Roquebillière Thursday from 9 to 12 p.m.
The earlier the treatment, the better the disease can be treated. Therapeutic advances have been significant in recent years and the management of blood sugar levels has become easier for patients.
Place for sports too
Physical activity being one of the pillars of the prevention of type 2 diabetes, the City of Nice proposes carrying out a fitness check-up through the Acti’Santé system and the Maison sport-santé.
See you this Monday, June 5 at the Animanice Gorbella center, Tuesday at the Garibaldi association house and Wednesday at that of Saint-Roch.
Attention, for this operation, you must book by email at [email protected] or at 06.13.05.35.73.
