Test for blood glucose levels.
Around 172,000 people have diabetes in the Basque Autonomous Community (approximately 7.5% of the population). About 9,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the CSC and type 2 cases most widespread (90% of the cases).
On the occasion of International Diabetes Daytoday, 14 November, the Department of Health has released data on the incidence of the disease in the territory.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by higher blood glucose levels (glycemia) than normal, which can lead to a number of complications, causing damage to various organs and reducing people's quality of life.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common and is related to tobacco consumption, physical inactivity and overweight. There are also risk factors such as family history of diabetes and pregnancy diabetes.
It isusually developed by people over 45 years of age, but it is becoming more common in children under 45. This disease has long been associated mainly with aging, but type 2 diabetes is beginning to appear in young people and even in childhood.
That is why the Department of Health and Osakidetza have stressed the importance of continuously controlling blood sugar levels and following healthy living habits.
