Sardinia is, like Finland, the European region with the highest percentage of diabetics. And it is precisely to this pathology that the new episode of "15 minutes with ..." is dedicated to the in-depth talk on the health of the hospital-university company of Cagliari in collaboration with the Unione Sarda group, which will be broadcast live on Tuesday 16 November at 5 pm on the social networks of the Aou of Cagliari (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube), on the website www.aoucagliari.it, but also on the Facebook page of the Unione Sarda and on the website www.unionesarda.it. As always, viewers will be able to ask questions live. On Wednesday the readers of L'Unione Sarda will find in-depth information on the newspaper's “Salute” insert.
The guest of the column, conducted by the journalist Fabrizio Meloni, Head of Communication and External Relations of the Aou, will be Dr. Efisio Cossu, director of Diabetology of the Aou of Cagliari with its two centers at San Giovanni di Dio and at the Policlinico.
The incidence of this pathology in Sardinia is very high and in some areas of the island it exceeds 40 percent, holding the sad record of the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes, with over 12,000 adults, more than 1,500 under 18 and about 120 new cases of type 1 diabetes diagnosed in the age group 0-14 years. A theme, therefore, extremely fundamental in the life of many families.
The talk "15 minutes with ..." is edited by Aou Cagliari News, the newspaper of the university hospital. Agile and simple format, it provides 15 minutes of question and answer with the specialists and the possibility for the public to ask questions live.
