Fernández, together with Luque and the secretary of Adiaco, Marta Hurtado, presenting the conference.

"Advances of type 1 diabetes mellitus."This is the title of the conference that will offer on November 17 the Association of Diabetics of Antequera y Region (Adiaco) in the auditorium of the Museum of the City of Antequera.

At 7:00 p.m. the talk will begin, given by Isabel Leiva Gea, pediatrician of the Endocrinology Service of the Maternal Child Hospital of Malaga, a diabetes specialist and member of the Spanish Society Pediatric Endocrinology.

The objective of this activity is not only that families or health can know the progress of this chronic disease in the children's stage, but also that the specialist can attend to 'in situ' users and resolve doubt, given that the Antequera region hospital continuesWithout having an endocrine.

In this sense, the president of Adiaco, Juan Manuel Fernández, has once again insisted on the need for the center to have this specialist, since he is convinced that he would contribute “to a more personalized attention and a better education in diabetes”, Especially in adults and when it is a disease that continues to grow the population."How many people are those who are diagnosed with diabetes that have to face it with a way of life that you already have acquired and have to have medical controls and their nutrition," he said during the presentation of the conference.

The celebration of this talk is already common in the city when World Diabetes Day is approaching, every November 14."Women and Diabetes: Our right to a healthy future" is the theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation (FID) for this year's commemoration.As they recall, at present, the ninth main cause of death among women around the world is this chronic disease.And to this we must add socio -economic inequalities that expose women to the main risk factors of diabetes: a poor diet and nutrition, physical inactivity, tobacco consumption and harmful consumption of alcohol.

Gestational diabetes or care that pregnant women should have are also other aspects that especially affect this group, as the Councilor for Health, José Luque, has also underlined during the presentation of the conference.
