(Adnkronos) - “Il controllo glicemico è la base con cui curiamo le persone con diabete. Oggi abbiamo la possibilità di monitorare la glicemia durante la giornata, soprattutto le escursioni glicemiche che sono quelle che possono determinare i danni vasali che sono alla base delle malattie cardiovascolari”. Lo ha detto Nicola Napoli, presidente Sid Lazio, durante la conferenza di presentazione delle linee prescrittive dei presidi per il monitoraggio glicemico

00:00The glycemic control is the basis with which we treat and cure people with diabetes.
00:10It is essential, with this determination, to have now the possibility of avoiding glycemic excursions
00:17that we are not able to collect by using blood samples such as glycemic hemoglobin
00:24that patients perform in the lab,
00:27nor with finger points that are performed only at certain times of the week.
00:33In this way, we will have the possibility of monitoring the glycemia during the day.
00:39I repeat, above all, the glycemic excursions that are those that can determine
00:44both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, the vasal damage,
00:49which are at the base of cardiovascular diseases,
00:52which are the complications that unfortunately are very frequent in people with diabetes.
00:57We certainly expect a reduction of hypoglycemia
01:01and therefore the possibility that the patient does not develop this terrible complication
01:06which is at the base of many vascular complications
01:09and above all it is also at the base of falls in the elderly,
01:13therefore it is also at risk of fractures and fragility.
01:18Therefore, it is an important opportunity for the doctor to extend to all our patients,
01:24therefore not only the younger people, but also the elderly,
01:27the possibility of monitoring the glycemia at any time of the day
01:32because, I repeat, avoiding hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia,
01:37we save the vases, we save the patient from many possibilities of fragility
01:43and therefore we improve the quality of the patient's life,
01:46especially avoiding chronic complications, which are above all cardiovascular, but not only.
