678 children and pregnant women in Yakutia receive glucose monitors
Yakutia has provided continuous glucose monitors to 678 people with type 1 diabetes: 324 children and 354 pregnant women, as of October 1, 2026.
The devices track changes in blood glucose levels and can alert users when levels rise or fall.
The program is part of a national project to combat diabetes in Russia.
The region is also expanding remote health monitoring for people with diabetes and high blood pressure, so medical staff can review their data and adjust treatment.
Health workers are screening patients for eye and kidney complications and offering education and advice in local districts.
These efforts aim to spot problems early and reduce diabetes complications.
Yakutia reported that 324 children and 354 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes had glucose monitoring systems as of October 1, 2026.
The systems allow users to track changes in glucose levels and respond to readings that are too high or too low.
The provision is part of the federal project “Fight Against Diabetes,” under the national project “Long and Active Life.”
The republic is also expanding remote health monitoring for people with diabetes and hypertension.

What people are saying
When the sugar rises, it sends a signal, and if it falls, it signals too, so we wake up and give an injection or sometimes give food—juice, bread—to raise the sugar.
I want to express my enormous gratitude to the endocrinologists at the Regional Endocrinology Center.
The Regional Endocrinology Center is the “anchor” institution of our endocrinology service.
