(Adnkronos) - “Il manifesto dei diritti e doveri delle persone con diabete presentato oggi è un manifesto che tutti dovremmo seguire. È necessario che ci sia uniformità su tutto il territorio nazionale dal punto di vista dell’assistenza alle persone con diabete e dell’accesso ai nuovi farmaci e alle nuove terapie, come l’insulina settimanale, elementi fondamentali per poter avere una buona qualità di vita”. Lo ha detto Emilio Augusto Benini, presidente Fand - Associazione nazionale diabetici, intervistato dall’Adnkronos salute a Roma, in occasione del convegno di presentazione ufficiale del World Diabetes Day 2024, al termine del quale è stato firmato il “Manifesto dei diritti della persona con diabete e dei doveri dell’individuo e della comunità”.

00:00Today is an important moment because the manifesto on the rights and duties of people with diabetes is being presented.
00:11It is an important manifesto because it is uniform at the national level.
00:14It is a bit like our Bible that we should all follow.
00:17If I have to decline this manifesto,
00:23I would say that it is necessary that there is uniformity throughout the national territory
00:28in terms of assistance to people with diabetes,
00:31access to new drugs, new therapies,
00:34which are fundamental elements to have a good quality of life.
00:38In particular, I would like to add that there are these new drugs,
00:43these new technologies that can do a lot for us.
00:47Now I remember weekly insulin rather than other drugs
00:53or technologies such as microinfusions that are evolving day by day,
00:59which can really give us a great contribution to live correctly,
01:04to live well in our health.
01:06We are waiting for AIFA to decline this weekly insulin
01:12because weekly insulin for type 2 diabetes is important
01:16because they do it every day, so 365 injections a year.
01:23And what happens?
01:25If you do it weekly, you do it 52 times.
01:28So it is a completely different logic,
01:31so even the acceptance itself,
01:33because one of the great refusals for us people with diabetes is to do the injection.
01:38If you offer insulin to someone, it is not that he thinks about insulin,
01:42he thinks about doing the injection, the needle.
01:44So there is a bit of agophobia in people, right?
01:47And so it is important that, in short,
01:49to do 52 injections compared to 360, things change.
01:54Because what is important that the health service must give us
01:58is that we must live well and not survive, but live well.
02:04This is the fundamental point.
