Type 1 diabetes is a disease that attacks beta cells in the pancreas due to abnormal immune function and cannot secrete insulin. In the past, it was called childhood diabetes due to the misconception that it was mainly diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, but in reality, it occurs evenly in all age groups.
The Korea Type 1 Diabetes Association was established to promote proper diabetes management for patients and increase the rights of patients as medical consumers by sharing new technologies and medical information for blood sugar management, device usage, and blood sugar management methods.
Dang; Yeon (聯), a workshop for the Korean Type 1 Diabetes Association, helps patients with Type 1 diabetes to continue a healthy life through solidarity and management. The workshop was organized on the 12th at SpaceShare Gangnam Station Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul, where adult patients communicate with each other and share the latest treatment information and health care methods.
More than 100 people, including patients and their families, participated in the event to share information and experiences between patients through various programs such as lectures on a healthy body, a healthy mind, group discussions, and experience sharing. In addition, there was an opportunity to strengthen the bond between patients through writing letters of hope and free exchange time. Participants then had time to share information on various latest medical devices such as insulin injections, continuous blood glucose meters (CGMs), and smart insulin pens (SIPs) and learn how to treat them.
A Huons official said, "Huons has been with Dexcom since 2018 when it first launched in Korea to give hope to patients with Type 1 diabetes, and we will continue to support them for their healthy lives." he said.
