HEALTH SURVEY: 4 Million Diabetics…

 

What about you?… How affected are you?…

 

“It is a disease that is silent, insidious, and, if left untreated, causes damage quietly.
So, I would say it is dangerous” explain Prof. Lyse BORDIER, Military Physician at the BEGIN Military Hospital, former treasurer of FFRD.

“The type 2 diabetes is often asymptomatic, and that is a concern. It means I could have diabetes without even knowing it” adds Prof. Emmanuel COSSON, Diabetologist at Jean Verdier Hospital in Bondy,
recipient of an FFRD clinical grant.

 

  • 630 Million potential diabetics worldwide by 2030
  • 520 000 additional diabetics possible by 2027
  • 600 000 people in France may unknowingly live with it…

 

How can such numbers be explained?… Can we change tho reverse the trend?…

 

Watch this investigation ON REPLAY, which aired on France 5, on Tuesday, Novembre 19.

 

This documentary was followed by a debate hosted by Marina Carrère d’Encausse featuring Claude CHAUMEIL, VP of the French Diabetes Federation and Vice President of the FFRD, as a guest.
