Awareness in the society of Cuenca about the diabetes

Abstract

The present research deals with the importance of the knowledge of diabetes in the Cuenca society, a disease that in this century a large part of the population comes to suffer, caused by the lack of insulin production in the pancreas. To do this, a survey was conducted in order to really know what was the knowledge of diabetes in society, obtaining quite unfavorable results, since, most respondents answered that they had no knowledge and also thought that they are free to contract this sickness. Nobody is free of it, and it is due to the lack of information and training, that many people get to suffer it. With the data obtained, there will be an education and guidance campaign for all those people who do not know about this issue and so that this disease does not transcend from generation to generation.
