Saber es Querer
(To
Know Is To Love) was an awareness campaign aimed at
promoting the care and risks of diabetes. We intended to
spread the word among diabetics, their families, friends,
co-workers and neighbors; so that we all understand and learn
while we support the people living with this disease.
In this website you
will find information that will allow you to understand and learn about
diabetes.
Saber es Querer, in
association with the Foundation Asociación Para La Defensa
Del Diabético worked to make a difference and
to help improve the quality of life of the people of Argentina.
Musicians, actors, sports people and other personalities from
Argentina have helped in this initiative to promote the
education and improve the quality of life of all diabetics.

The launch of
Saber Es Querer was on Sunday, November 14, 2004,
on the International Diabetes Day, with the Festival "Hagamos
Ruido Por La Diabetes" (Lets Make Noise For
Diabetes) at Obras Sanitarias Stadium in the City of Buenos
Aires, with a Rock & Roll festival that
started this one-week campaign and contributed to the
promotion and education of diabetes in Argentina.

During the week following the opening event, and
with the cooperation of a number of people in the press, private companies
and individuals; we spread
our educational message and we are pleased to have made
some noise among our people.
Finally, on Saturday November 20th, we closed the campaign with a tango show at
Los Patios de San Telmo with the performance of Claudia Levy and
Alejandro Perez.
We are immensely thankful for the support and affection we
have received from everyone. THANK YOU ALL and we'll keep rolling! Watch out!

In
Argentina, more than
2 million people have diabetes,
representing 8% of the population.
Half of them don't even know they have it,
while half of those diagnosed don't receive proper treatment.
With the right information, people with diabetes can live a
long, healthy, complication-free and normal life.
