A Brief Note On Diabetes And The Middle East

From Graph 2, it can be seen that the largest age group sampled was the 45-54 age group whereas the smallest age group sampled was the 75 or older age group, which sampled no participants. From Graph 4, it can be seen that of the population sampled, 35.85% had diabetes longer than 5 years, whereas 7.55% had diabetes less than a year. According to Graph 5, the most common long-term complication was Retinopathy (effects on the eyes) with 13.21% of the population experiencing this, whereas the least common complications were Loss of Limb/body parts and Cardiovascular Disease, of which no members of the population sampled had experienced. Regulated diet was the most common method of treating diabetes with 37.74% of the population using this method according to Graph 6, whereas diabetes

Diabetes is continuing to be a major health problem in the world. The number of people with diabetes is

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major problems in health system and a worldwide general health risk that has increased drastically in the course of recent decades (1, 2). As per epidemiological studies, the number of patients with DM expanded from around 30 million cases in 1985, 177 million in 2000, 285 million in 2010, and evaluated if the circumstance continues with the same , more than 360 million individuals by 2030 will have DM (3).

The cross-sectional study was conducted with 390 patients with type two diabetes. The researchers had no relationship or connection with the participants. The participants attended the Diabetes Research Center of Hamadan (DRCH), and were selected by simple random sampling. Following the first few steps, the participants were selected based on certain criteria. The criteria included: having a health record with DRCH for at least one year.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the main problems in health systems and a global public health threat that has increased dramatically over the past 2 decades (1, 2). According to epidemiological studies, the number of patients with DM increased from about 30 million cases in 1985, 177 million in 2000, 285 million in 2010, and estimated if the situation continues, more than 360 million people by 2030 will have DM (3, 4).

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder involving carbohydrates, protein, fat metabolism and insulin. “It affects over 26 million people in the United States, 25% of those people are under diagnosed with the condition” (Sawyer, pg 324). “More than 79 million people have “prediabetes,” a condition in which blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes” (Sawyer, pg 324). Over the years more than 70,000 people die each year from this disease. Diabetes can be classified into 3 different types.

Diabetes is prevalent in the United States and yet there is no registry to help meet the needs of this group and it is apparent that a national database is needed. A registry would help track trends; a registry would help public health officials who want to pinpoint where more education is needed and where more screening would be helpful. The intent with the development of a database is to compile data for scientific and medical research and for assistance in making decisions about providing funding of public resources.

Diabetes is a global public health problem and has a dramatic impact on the health care system not only due to high morbidity and mortality but also due to significant total medical costs .83 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of diabetes worldwide is 6.4 %, which varies from 10.2% in the Western Pacific to 3.6 % in the African region . The latest WHO estimate is 285 million in 2010 and has been projected to increase to 438

Diabetes is a major health problem in America and has been steadily increasing in prevalence (Fowler, 2010). Diabetes is currently the seventh leading cause of death in the United States with the burden of disease much higher for racial and ethnic minorities than whites. As of 2014, approximately 29.1 million Americans—9.3 percent of the total population—have been diagnosed with diabetes, with that number increasing rapidly (CDC, 2014). Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, end-stage kidney disease, and non-traumatic amputation. It is also a common risk factor for hypertension, stoke, and heart disease and is usual a comorbidity of obesity (Insucchi & Sherwin, 2012).

Irrespective of nation, cast, creed and any other demographic differences Diabetes has become one of the most prevalent diseases around the world. In most scenarios, this is often noticed that failure of establishing supportive infrastructure and health care management are responsible. Most surprisingly, nearly about 3 million deaths can be attributable to Diabetes annually, and it’s increasing at a dramatic pace. In under-developed countries, this scenario is more miserable. Growing number of people in these countries are suffering from maltreatment, and often the affected people cannot afford necessary medication. In various health and safety surveys, Diabetes is ranked in top places prevailing itself as one of the most concerning health issues around the world. Diabetes is also one of the main reasons for disability around the world for disability and severe other health problems. If proper steps and subsidiary actions are not taken to prevent the cause the number of affected people can rise from 350 million in 2011 to 580 million in

Hence the effectiveness of the role of public health in the prevention and management of diabetes is in question. This fact is accentuated in The Lancet Editorial when it made a noteworthy statement: “The fact that Type 2 diabetes, a largely preventable disorder, has reached epidemic proportion is a public health humiliation.” (The Lancet, 2010). The writer will therefore use a case study (Appendix 1) which features a patient diagnosed with prediabetes to critically analyse evidence based practices relating to the care of persons with a diagnosis of diabetes and critically evaluate the strategies of public health in Type 2 diabetes prevention and management.

Diabetes is a health condition that described with elevated level of glucose in the blood as a result of the body’s inability to produce any or not enough insulin causing hyperglycemia. In fact, diabetes is the sixth factor of causing in death in the U.S due to its correlation to cardiovascular diseases (Hummel& Schnell, 2009). Not to mention that diabetes has its health complication: Kidney failure, blindness, and lower limb amputations. In 2014, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the number of diabetic reached 29.1 million people in the U.S, which is a 9.3 % of the total population. In fact, in the same report pointed out that 37% of the total U.S population (adults aged 20 and older) is prediabetic based on

This report intends to focus on diabetes frequency in tower hamlet Borough. Hence, the demographic features of borough of Tower Hamlet will be highlighted with reference to the consideration of social determinant of diabetes in London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

A study conducted by Alamoudi et al. (2009) that sought to determine the pattern of hospitalization for common diseases in Saudi showed that diabetes was the most common diagnoses among hospitalized patients. Cases of diabetes in Arab nations have been noted to be the highest and constantly increasing. Beshyah et al. (2011) sought to determine the pattern of diabetes hospitalization in Abu Dhabi. It was found that over 71% of diabetes admissions were from the emergency room. Hospital stay was noted as 4 days for secondary diagnosis and 5 days for primary diabetes diagnosis.

Data mining is the process of selecting, exploring and modelling large amount of data to discover unknown patterns or relationship useful to Data analyst. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose which leads serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. There are three types of diabetes. They are Type-I(T1DM), Type- 2(T2DM), Gestational diabetes. Type 2 diabetes represents 90 percent of diabetes cases in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is ranked as the 7th country world widely estimated to have the highest numbers of people with diabetes in 2000 and 2030. International Diabetes Federations says that there were 3.4 million cases of diabetes in
