Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, is joining the global community to mark World Diabetes Day on November 14, 2025. This year’s theme, “Diabetes and Well-being,” highlights the importance of supporting the physical, mental, and emotional health of people living with diabetes and those at risk.
As a trusted leader in kidney care, FME supports thousands of people affected by diabetes and kidney diseases every day. Diabetes is a common condition, affecting 1 in 9 adults worldwide, and up to 40% of people with diabetes will develop chronic kidney disease (CKD). Within our clinics, more than half of our dialysis patients are living with diabetes. Our teams are dedicated to providing education, personalized care, and a range of treatment options to help people manage their kidney health and well-being.
In a special interview, Dr. Benjamin Hippen, Chief Medical Officer, Care Delivery at Fresenius Medical Care, discusses the global impact of diabetes, its connection to kidney health, and the importance of early detection.
