Hospital da Luz Setúbal, in partnership with the Health Office of the City Council of Setúbal, organized at Mercado do Livramento, in the morning of November 14, the World Diabetes Day, an awareness action on the disease and the necessity to adopt healthy habits as prevention. The adherence to the initiative was considerable, glycemia measurements having been made to 187 persons. Hospital da Luz Setúbal team, consisting of a physician, a nutritionist and two nurses, provided information on diabetes risk factors and alerted to the importance of early diagnosis. Special emphasis was given to prevention, namely the necessity to adopt a healthy life style, which includes physical exercise and balanced diet.
