Today is the World Diabetes Day🎊

Today, the MOVEUP project joins the global community in celebrating World Diabetes Day, reaffirming our commitment to promoting sport and physical activity as powerful tools to prevent and manage chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Regular movement — whether it’s walking, cycling, or playing a team sport — helps regulate blood glucose, improve heart health, and boost overall wellbeing. 🤼‍♀️🤸‍♀️

Through MOVEUP, we aim to make physical activity accessible to all, supporting healthier lifestyles and raising awareness about the crucial link between exercise, prevention, and long-term health.☀️🌎

Let’s move together for a healthier future!
