Since 2016, we have been running educational initiatives to raise public awareness about diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, which affects 80% of people living with the condition, as well as the serious health complications it can lead to.
The nationwide educational campaign Longer Life with Diabetes (www.dluzszezyciezcukrzyca.pl, Facebook) was launched by Boehringer Ingelheim and is carried out in partnership with key organizations focused on diabetes care and education.
As part of the campaign, we organize workshops and meetings for individuals with diabetes and their families. We also develop educational materials (both print and audiovisual) in collaboration with medical experts, dietitians, fitness trainers, and psychologists.
In addition, we maintain ongoing media outreach to keep diabetes topics in the public eye. Each year, we expand our circle of “Friends of the Campaign” by presenting awards to those most active in diabetes education.
The Longer Life with Diabetes campaign has been recognized with the prestigious Złoty Otis z Diamentami award as one of the most impactful and well-executed education and prevention programs in the field of diabetes. In 2023, the Health Visionaries committee selected the campaign as the best in the Visionary Prevention and Education Program category.
