Nov 11, 2025

Campaigns are in full swing to mark World Diabetes Day on November 14.

World Diabetes Day was established by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote the severity of diabetes and to emphasize the importance of prevention and management.

It was established to commemorate the birthday of Canadian scientist Frederick Benting, who discovered insulin, and the iconic logo 'Blue Circle' means unity, hope, and health, and expresses a willingness to overcome diabetes.




The continuous blood glucose meter (CGM) industry, which has recently attracted attention, is also holding an event to celebrate World Diabetes Day.

On the 8th, Handok hosted a 'Confident Step Campaign - Blood Sugar Management One-Day Class' at the Handok Future Complex in Magok, Seoul, where they learn and practice together.

'Confident Step Campaign - Blood sugar management one-day class' is part of the annual 'Confident Step Campaign' that Korea-Germany has been conducting since 2009 to help manage diabetes. Following the 「My First Step」 held in May in collaboration with the Korea Type 1 Diabetes Association to help first-timers manage their blood sugar, this time, a one-day class for blood sugar management has been set up to support the health management of young diabetic patients who usually need blood sugar management but have difficulty practicing in real life. In 'Confident Step Campaign - Blood Sugar Management One-Day Class', various programs were held to learn how to manage smart blood sugar with more than 50 participants. Participants participated in the training by wearing a continuous blood glucose meter 'BarrozanFit' and checking for real-time blood glucose changes themselves.




In the specialist lecture session, Professor Lee Eun-young of Seoul St. Mary's Hospital participated as a speaker and gave a lecture under the theme of `3040 Diabetes, Why Management Is More Important Now.' Participants had time to acquire expertise on the importance of managing blood glucose in daily life and how to practice it. Through the following diet coaching, we learned how to eat to help manage blood sugar, ate various foods, and checked blood sugar changes according to food in real time. In addition, in the exercise coaching session, I practiced exercise methods that can be easily followed at home and experienced firsthand how exercise affects blood sugar. In particular, in this one-day class of blood sugar management, specialists, diet coaches, and exercise coaches held Q&A sessions to answer individual questions of participants in real time, providing opportunities to solve practical concerns about blood sugar management in daily life.

Until the 16th, Handok will hold a continuous blood glucose meter BaroZanFit 1+1 event at Naver 'Handok Mall' and Handok Healthcare's online health shopping mall 'Daily Health', a subsidiary of Handok. During the event, you can purchase up to two sets of event planning products with one account.

Isense participated in the '2025 Blue Run' marathon held at Tancheon Stadium in Seongnam on the 9th.




Beyond simple participation in this year's Blue Run, ISEN launched an employee participatory social contribution (CSR) campaign under the theme of 「Hope for diabetic patients as much as the distance they ran」. Through this campaign, we created a virtuous cycle structure in which the voluntary participation of executives and employees is returned to social values and provided an opportunity to spread the CSR culture of running and donating. Sharing was practiced by donating one blood glucose meter to diabetic patients for every 1km of distance completed by all participants. Executives and employees wore blue ribbons with health messages to help manage diabetes behind their backs. The donated blood glucose meter will be delivered to low-income diabetic patients in Korea through the Korea Diabetes Association.
