Diabetes

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that 537 million adults aged 20–79 years worldwide have diabetes, which is about 1 in 10 people in that age group. The IDF projects that this number will increase to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045, which would be 1 in 8 adults. Over 3 in 4 adults with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries. They also estimate that diabetes is responsible for about 6.7 million deaths annually, which is about 1 death every 5 seconds.

About

Diabetes can be diagnosed using several key tests and assessments: Fasting Blood Glucose Test, which measures blood glucose after an overnight fast. Random Blood Glucose Test, which measures blood glucose at random times of the day, regardless of when the person last ate. Hemoglobin A1c Test (HBA1C-Test), which measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months by assessing the percentage of glucose bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells. An HbA1c result of 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes, while a result between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes.

Prognosis

The prognosis of diabetes largely depends on how well the condition is managed and controlled. With effective treatment and lifestyle modifications, including healthy diet and physical exercise, individuals with diabetes can lead healthy, productive lives. Regular glucose monitoring, effective management, and support are key to optimizing long-term outcomes and minimizing complications.
