How can reduce the burden of diabetes?

protection
Simple lifestyle measures have been proven to prevent type 2 diabetes or delay its onset. To help prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, people should:
Work towards and maintain healthy weight;
Physical activity - at least 30 minutes of moderate and regular physical activity most days of the week. Weight control requires more physical activity;
A healthy diet that includes three to five daily servings of fruits and vegetables, reducing the intake of sugar and saturated fat;
Avoid tobacco use, as smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Diagnosis and treatment
This disease can be diagnosed at an early stage by relatively inexpensive blood tests.
Diabetes treatment is to improve diet, physical activity, lower blood glucose levels and levels of other known risk factors for vascular damage. Quitting smoking is also important to avoid complications.
Cost-effective and feasible interventions in developing countries include:
Adjust the moderate level of blood glucose. This requires insulin to be given to people with type 1 diabetes; while people with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral medications, they may also need insulin;
Adjust blood pressure level;
Foot care;
Other cost-saving interventions include:
Diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy (which causes blindness);
Adjust blood lipid level (to regulate cholesterol levels);
Early signs of kidney disease related to diabetes.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin or when the body can not effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the level of sugar in the blood. Hyperglycemia or hyperglycemia is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and, over time, causes serious damage to many organs, especially nerves and blood vessels.
In 2014, 8.5% of adults aged 18 years or older had diabetes. In 2012 diabetes was a direct cause of 1.5 million deaths, and high blood glucose caused 2.2 million deaths

What are the common consequences of diabetes?

• Adults with diabetes are more likely to have twice as many or three times as many heart attacks and strokes.
• Poor blood flow and neuropathy in the feet increase the risk of foot ulcers and infection and ultimately the need for amputation.
• Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness and occurs as a result of the long-term damage to small retinal vessels. 2.6% of the world's blindness is attributable to diabetes.
• Diabetes is a major cause of kidney failure
