"It is an sometimes unknown epidemic but that affects up to 20% of the population," said the manager.It has recounted in the complications that this disease can lead to what "all information work we carry out are few."It is about informing and giving access to the patients themselves through endocrinology professionals to improve their daily and long -term quality of life, as Dr. Talavera said.

Camacho has influenced the need for different health services such as endocrinology and ophthalmology to work in common to "save especially in health spending", a worldwide problem, according to the ophthalmologist.In the words of Domingo Camacho, diabetes entails a huge expense, so prevention is basic and for this "education is basic for the patient to know each other better" and with the help of doctors and nurses they can "lead a competent lifeand normal ”.
