This culminated in the publication of the first edition of the Diabetes Atlas at the 17th IDF Congress in Mexico. It was beautifully produced and instantly popular. It went to Ministers of Health in IDF member countries, WHO offices, diabetes associations and many others. The Diabetes Atlas has proved to be an invaluable resource. It was decided that it should go on the IDF website to be updated regularly – but should reappear in hard copy for the 18th IDF Congress in Paris. Many new sections have been included since the first edition. The epidemiology section has been updated, stressing again the rapid rise in prevalence, as has that on economics. A new section on impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is included, giving an indication of the further rise in diabetes that is to come. This is the first time worldwide data on IGT have been collected together. The prevalence of complications is now included – important for planners, health professionals and people with diabetes alike. It is also the first time that such information has been compiled in one publication. It is useful in showing not only the prevalence data but also the gaps in our knowledge in this area. Another new chapter discusses the relationship between obesity and diabetes as well as the effect of diabetes on cardiovascular disease. The vital topic of access to insulin is also covered – an area of critical importance in many IDF member countries. Diabetes education has an expanded section, emphasizing its role in the successful management of the disease. There are then very useful chapters on IDF regional activities and diabetes associations. Primary prevention and socio-economic indicators complete the text. The evidence that we have shows beyond doubt that diabetes is on an epidemic increase and that the toll from this disease will be huge in economic, social and individual terms if action is not taken now. There is also evidence that prevention of type 2 diabetes is possible. What remains now is for all of us – governments, health organizations, diabetes associations – to take the next step to use the knowledge that we have to curb the rise of diabetes and its complications. 7 Diabetes Atlas Second Edition Foreword I personally feel that the second edition is a major step forward and will prove invaluable to governments and diabetes associations as well as individuals. Production of the Diabetes Atlas is a costly undertaking. We should acknowledge the time given by many colleagues in IDF and also our various sponsors, particularly the new charity the World Diabetes Foundation, without whom the second edition of the Diabetes Atlas would not have been possible.

  • Insulet Announces Sponsorship of International Diabetes Federation's World Diabetes Day Campaign
    November 3, 2008 Insulet Announces Sponsorship of International Diabetes Federation's World Diabetes Day Campaign BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Insulet Corporation, (Nasdaq: PODD), the global leader in patch pump technology, and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) today announced that Insulet is an official partner of IDF's World Diabetes Day (WDD) campaign. World Diabetes Day, celebrated on November 14, will raise awareness of children and adolescents with diabetes, spotlighting both the impact of the disease and access to care. "Insulet's mission is to improve the lives of people with diabetes, so we felt it was imperative to join IDF to increase global awareness of this devastating disease, which affects millions of people worldwide," said Duane DeSisto, Insulet's president & chief executive officer. "Our easy-to-use OmniPod® Insulin Management System helps people with diabetes stay healthy while living life fully. OmniPod's innovative, tubing-free design provides all the benefits of pump therapy, which supplies the best control over diabetes, while eliminating the hassles of a traditional pump. Its virtually pain-free automated insertion has no needles in sight, which appeals to both children and adults. But primarily, OmniPod enables people with diabetes to simply live their lives normally." The campaign also emphasizes that, with the right treatment, children and adolescents can live full, healthy and productive lives. To ensure this, it's vital that parents know the early warning signs of diabetes and if their child shows these signs, to seek immediate medical attention. These signs include: -- Frequent urination -- Excessive thirst -- Increased hunger -- Rapid weight loss -- Tiredness -- Lack of interest and concentration -- Blurred vision -- Vomiting and stomach pain (often mistaken as the flu) "We are extremely pleased that Insulet is an official partner in World Diabetes Day and very much welcome their support and expertise in diabetes to bring attention to the disease," said World Diabetes Day Campaign Director Phil Riley.

  • World Diabetes Day – November 14, 2020
    World Diabetes Day – November 14, 2020 SATNOV 14 WHAT IS WORLD DIABETES DAY? World Diabetes Day is every year on November 14, first created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Foundation and the World Health Organization. Diabetes is a chronic disease where the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin if any at all. It also leads to serious health conditions and, in many ways, can be preventable. That’s why we take this day to spread awareness and education. HISTORY OF WORLD DIABETES DAY Diabetes is considered to have been around 1550 BC. The successful extraction and injection of insulin into humans was discovered in 1922. So, comparatively, our understanding of diabetes is quite new compared to its long, arduous march through history. The difference between type two and type one started around 1850, where medical professionals at the time believed that they knew enough of the difference between the two to warrant two categories. Since then, type II diabetes has ballooned to 90 percent of the those affected, with an estimated $425 million individuals affected worldwide. This alarming rise in such a preventable disease is one of the reasons the WHO and IDF wanted to create World Diabetes Day – to help spread awareness of how to prevent contracting the illness. Having to manage blood sugar levels on a daily basis is a time-consuming and costly endeavor, as the economic cost of diabetes globally is around $727 billion (USD) and in the US alone it costs almost a third of that, at $245 billion. The costliness and its prevention create even more reason for us to spread awareness of the disease, and also celebrate the birth of the man who helped bring insulin into the modern world as an effective treatment against it.

  • A Systematic Review of the Prevalence and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Nigeria
    www.idosr.org Offu ©IDOSR PUBLICATIONS International Digital Organization for Scientific Research ISSN: 2579-0730 IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY 3(1) 124-146, 2019. A Systematic Review of the Prevalence and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Nigeria. Ogochukwu Fidelia Offu Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Biopharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Agbani, Enugu State, Nigeria. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Diabetes is on the increase in Nigeria and previous systematic reviews and meta- analysis have reported estimates of the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Nigeria. However, because of differences in population characteristics, these estimates will vary across and within geopolitical zones. Despite the increase in prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the country, no other systematic review has been carried out to assess diabetes treatment pattern in Nigeria. Hence, the importance of this study, as it critically reviews the disease prevalence and treatment pattern across and within geopolitical zones in Nigeria.To systematically review all prevalence and treatment studies published from January, 1998 to September, 2018. The following databases were searched for articles: PubMed Central (PMC), African Journal On Line (AJOL), Science Direct, and Connecting Repositories (CORE). Google scholar was also searched. 159 articles were identified from the databases while 12 were identified from Google Scholar. Studies that were excluded are: Studies that dealt mainly the prevalence of Type 1 Diabetes Melitus/gestational diabetes (14); studies with self reported diagnosis (12); case reports and editorials (10); studies that were not representative of the general population (7); and studies without case definitions (8) were excluded from the pool of studies to obtain 38 studies that were utilized for the review.

WDD is the most expansive awareness program at a global level. It is estimated to reach over a 1 billion people in more than 160 countries. It is anticipated that this will keep the awareness of the menacing epidemic of diabetes in the public and political mindset. The Objectives of the World Diabetes Day are : Promote IDF advocacy efforts throughout the year. To be the global driver to promote the importance of taking coordinated and concerted actions to confront diabetes as a critical global health issue. The official logo is a blue circle which was adopted in 2007. It is the symbol of awareness of diabetes globally. It also underlines the unity of purpose of the global diabetes community facing the diabetic epidemic. Annually the World Diabetes Day campaign focuses on a dedicated theme that runs for one or more years. The theme for World Diabetes Day 2018-19 is Family and Diabetes.
