Handok Donates 400 Blood Glucose Meters to Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Handok announced on the 25th that, as part of the 'Dangdang Balgeoreum' campaign supporting diabetes patients, it donated 400 blood glucose meters and 4,000 straps needed for measurement to vulnerable elderly people requiring diabetes management. The donated blood glucose meters and straps will be delivered to vulnerable elderly individuals nationwide through the Comprehensive Support Center for Elderly Living Alone.

The Dangdang Balgeoreum campaign is conducted to raise awareness of the importance of diabetes management and to increase recognition of 'diabetic foot,' a common but fatal diabetes complication. As part of the campaign, from November last year for one month, Handok held a relay event on its SNS, conducting various activities such as answering quizzes related to diabetic foot, recommending good walking paths for diabetic foot prevention, and leaving supportive messages for diabetes patients. A total of 2,361 general participants joined the Dangdang Balgeoreum relay event, and Handok donated blood glucose meters and straps as the campaign concluded.

Kim Young-jin, Chairman of Handok, said, “Since regular blood glucose monitoring is essential for diabetes management, I hope this donation will help elderly people manage their health even a little.” He added, “We will continue to work together so that patients can overcome diabetes and take strong steps forward.”
