Diabetes is becoming increasingly common worldwide, especially in some Asian countries. Linked to a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and excessive weight gain, this chronic condition increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Often, however, people with diabetes only discover that they are suffering from it when it has started to cause significant damage to the body, particularly to the heart, kidneys and eyes.

In order to raise awareness of the risks of this condition and bring to light the hidden cases, Menarini Hong Kong is supporting the Diabetes Hong Kong Healthy Run, a marathon that highlights the importance of regular exercise as a preventive measure. An initiative that has become famous for encouraging the sharing of experiences among patients and doctors, but also for raising funds for diagnosis and treatment activities.
