November 14th marks the 19th "United Nations Diabetes Day."
The theme is "Diabetes and Well-being," with a special call to "Raise Awareness, Focus on Action, and Pay Attention to Diabetes in the Workplace."
When we talk about diabetes prevention and control, we usually focus on diet control, exercise, and medication management, but often overlook an invisible yet crucial environmental factor — indoor air quality.
Air Pollution: The Invisible Driver of Diabetes
Most people may find it hard to directly link air quality to diabetes. However, studies have confirmed that air pollution has become one of the main causes of non-communicable diseases worldwide.
Several particulate and gaseous pollutants can trigger acute events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure — common and dangerous complications for diabetes patients.

More specifically, different pollutants, including all particulate and gaseous pollutants, exert rapid negative effects on vascular function. This change in vascular function is critical to signal transduction processes and may ultimately lead to cardiovascular-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and atherosclerosis.
Scientific Evidence: Chinese Research Highlights the Importance of Air Purification
A groundbreaking study jointly conducted by Professor Kan Haidong and Professor Chen Renjie’s team from the School of Public Health, Fudan University, and Director Shi Yan’s team from the Institute of Chronic Non-communicable Diseases and Injury Prevention and Control, Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, provides important evidence.
This prospective cohort study on diabetes patients is the first to systematically explore the long-term impact of air pollution and green space coverage in residential environments on all-cause and cause-specific mortality among diabetes patients in the Chinese population.

The study results show:
Long-term exposure to air pollution significantly increases the all-cause mortality rate of diabetes patients.
Pollutant exposure is positively correlated with the risk of cardiovascular disease death.
Higher green space coverage in residential environments is associated with a relatively lower mortality risk for diabetes patients.
Published in an authoritative journal, this study provides solid scientific evidence that "improving air quality contributes to diabetes management."
Kangbeijing Uses Technology to Safeguard Respiratory Health for Diabetes Patients
Based on these scientific studies, Kangbeijing’s DBD plasma technology air disinfection and purification machine offers a professional air purification solution for diabetes patients.
Technological Advantages for Precise Protection
Kangbeijing’s self-developed Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) technology, honed through ten years of R&D, has overcome multiple technical challenges in collaboration with expert teams from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and research forces from multiple universities:
Efficient PM2.5 removal: Effectively eliminates fine particulate matter in the air, reducing pollutant exposure at the source.
Safe disinfection with human-machine coexistence: Clinically verified for 24/7 continuous purification while people are present.
Intelligent monitoring and regulation: Multi-effect composite sensors monitor air quality in real time and automatically adjust purification modes.
Tailored for Diabetes Patients
Reduce inflammation risk: Effectively removes fine particulate matter that triggers systemic inflammation, alleviating insulin resistance.
Protect cardiovascular health: Minimizes damage to vascular endothelium caused by air pollution, lowering the risk of cardiovascular complications.
Continuous peace of mind: Provides 24/7 uninterrupted purification to ensure indoor air quality.
Cost-effective: Saves 40% of annual maintenance costs compared to traditional solutions, suitable for long-term use.
Creating a Diabetes-Friendly Living Environment
On this special occasion of World Diabetes Day, we call for a more comprehensive approach to diabetes management:
Air disinfection and purification should be given equal importance to diet control and exercise management, becoming an important part of integrated diabetes care. Whether at home or in the workplace, clean air should be a basic configuration of a diabetes-friendly environment.
