Diabetes is a complex, chronic illness requiring
continuous medical care with multifactorial riskreduction strategies beyond glycemic control.
• Ongoing patient self-management education and support are critical to preventing acute
complications and reducing the risk of long-term complications
Diabetes is the 4th or 5th leading cause of death in most developed countries
• Epidemic in developing countries.
One in two adults with diabetes is undiagnosed
One in seven births is affected by gestational diabetes
Classification
Type 1 diabetes (results from b-cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency)
Type 2 diabetes (results from a progressive insulin secretory defect on the background of insulin resistance) 3. Other specific types of diabetes 4. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy)
Classification Other specific types of diabetes:
. Genetic defects in b-cell function 2. Genetic defects in insulin action
3. Diseases of the exocrine pancreas (such as cystic fibrosis)
4. Drug- or chemical induced (such as in the treatment of HIV/AIDS or after organ transplantation)
