On World Diabetes Day, we highlight the interconnection between prevention and comprehensive healthcare in the HARMONICS research project. Eye-opening data underlines that people with diabetes face twice the risk of stroke, with a higher likelihood of recurrence after the first episode.

No less shocking is the finding that 30% of stroke patients have diabetes, either previously diagnosed or de novo, of whom 90-95% have type 2 diabetes. Additionally, 40-50% of patients without diabetes fall into the category of pre-diabetes, showing abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. This group is at high risk of developing established diabetes during follow-up, placing them at high cardiovascular risk and overall mortality.

At HARMONICS, our dedication goes beyond research. We work tirelessly to forge a future where information and awareness merge, protecting hearts and minds. Join us in this crucial mission.
