JAKARTA Every November 14, the world community is reminded of the importance of maintaining blood sugar health through the commemoration of World Diabetes Day.

This year, various parties continue their health campaign by presenting a program that invites people to support each other in realizing a healthy and happy life.

Kalbe Nutritionals through Diabetasol continued the campaign 'Stand By You' by presenting the 'Happy Together Dia' program, an invitation to support each other towards a healthy and happy life.

As part of the campaign, a number of organizations collaborated with the patient community and a number of hospitals during the 2025 World Diabetes Day celebration which took place at the Purna Bhakti Pertiwi Museum, TMII.

More than 4,000 participants from Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, and Bekasi also enlivened the event which was full of positive energy.

Carrying the theme 'Resilient and Control Diabetes, Towards a Healthy Life of Happiness', the event is in line with a global focus that emphasizes the relationship between diabetes and the welfare of life.

The public is invited to maintain health not only from the physical aspect, but also from the perspective of happiness and balance of life.

Various interesting activities such as joint gymnastics, healthy roads, and free health checks are provided for participants. The atmosphere of the event is getting more lively with music entertainment, interactive games, and door prizes, making this moment not only a health celebration, but also an active lifestyle party with the community.

"As a brand that cares about blood sugar health, Diabehasol wants to inspire people to maintain blood sugar in a simple, but consistent way. Through the 'Happy Together Dia' program which is part of the Stand By You' campaign, we want to invite people to support each other and enjoy the process of getting healthy living in a fun way," said Nita Novita, Marketing Kalbe Nutritionals from her official statement.

The fast trend of modern life makes many people not realize the importance of maintaining a balance of the body. In workers, the habit of sitting for too long and lack of physical activity is a factor that increases the risk of diabetes.

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the prevalence of diabetes in Indonesia in 2024 will reach 11.3%, or more than 20 million adults. This figure serves as a reminder that maintaining a diet, moving regularly, and monitoring blood sugar levels is an important need, not only for people with diabetes but also for the younger generation.

Prof. Dr. dr. Mardi Santoso, DTM&H, SpPD-KEMD, FINASIM, FACE, Chairman of PERSADIA for the Greater Jakarta Region explained that good blood sugar management can actually start from everyday habits.

"The key is to fulfill a balanced nutritional intake, choose the right food, and stay active so that the body remains fit and happier. Through the education that we present at this World Diabetes Day moment, we want to invite the public to understand that maintaining health does not have to be difficult, but can actually start from a small step that is done together," explained dr. Mardi.

As an academic and medical partner, the hospitals involved provide free health checks and education services regarding blood sugar management. Clinical Nutrition Specialist, dr. Gracia JMT Winaktu, MS, SpGK gave an explanation.

"Maintaining blood sugar is not only by early detection, but also by regulating a good diet by applying the principles of 3J (Jadwal, Sumatra, and Type), with a main eating frequency of three times and a three-time meal frequency, and must have a good lifestyle." said dr. Gracia.
