Slovenian Diabetes Association organized a roundtable discussion titled "Get Diabetes Under Control Early" ahead of World Diabetes Day, emphasizing that managing diabetes is the patient's responsibility. Experts explained the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, highlighting the potential for non-pharmacological interventions in type 2, such as a balanced diet, exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. They stressed the importance of early detection and treatment, noting that elevated blood sugar, even within normal ranges, increases the risk of cardiovascular issues and other complications.

Patients shared personal experiences of living with diabetes, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle adjustments and regular monitoring for maintaining a full and active life. One highlighted how physical activity and emotional support, even from a pet, can be valuable tools for effective disease management.
