Unimed Cuiabá is hosting a free blood glucose testing event on February 24 and February 25 to promote awareness of chronic diseases, particularly diabetes, in alignment with Purple February, a campaign dedicated to educating the public on various chronic conditions. This initiative will take place at the cooperative's administrative headquarters and the Medical Center, aiming to reach both employees and the local community.

The event is organized by the Preventive Health Center – Viver Bem, reflecting a commitment to health education and prevention among the population. By emphasizing the significance of early diagnosis and healthy lifestyle choices, Unimed Cuiabá hopes to mitigate the impact of diabetes, which is characterized by inadequate insulin production or ineffective utilization of the hormone by the body.

Diabetes management is crucial as uncontrolled blood sugar levels can lead to serious health complications. This campaign not only provides essential health services but also fosters a community dialogue about chronic disease prevention, highlighting the responsibility of health organizations to promote public health initiatives and improve community health outcomes.
