WOMEN AND DIABETES

Like every year, November surfs on the wave of diabetes and struggle with this insidious condition. This year’s run is special by its focus on “Women and Diabetes”. Everyone knows at least 10 women and statistically at least one of them suffers from diabetes. Worldwide, there live over 199 million women with diabetes and the expected increase in 2040 is even higher – around 313 million.

Therefore,Ascensia Diabetes Care has collected 30 portraits of women from around the world that were hand-drawn by foreign artists on graphic tablets. This initiative aims to highlight the crucial contribution of women in the diabetes treatment. These are portraits of women who contributed as scientists, healthcare professionals, educators, and tireless advocates of diabetes awareness. One of these women is our colleague Marcela Kratochvílová, Event Manager and lecturer of PROMEDICA INSTITUT.

To support diabetes awareness, PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP, a.s., decorated its meeting room with the portraits of women from all over the world.
