Background
Diabetes is a chronic disease that has continuously had a public health impact for decades. Its public health impact is so profound that the World Health Organization named it as one of the top four priority non-communicable diseases around the world (WHO, 2016). Diabetes is characterized by abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood, caused by an inability of the body to either produce or properly use insulin (Albright et. al, 2012). Its two types, type one and type two, have been steadily increasing around the world, forming the diabetes epidemic we have today. The rate of diagnosis is projected to almost double in the next 20 years from 382 million diagnoses worldwide in 2013 to 592 million in 2035 (Abdel-Hady et al.,

Because Egypt does not have a national diabetes registry, the country’s ability to properly deal with the issue has been hindered, since specific incidence rates are unknown. Therefore, this surveillance system will use existing information such as death records, hospital discharge diagnosis, and emergency room information to assess the public health impact and trends in diabetes. It will use this information to create an effective web based registry for the country that systematically collects information on diabetes diagnosis, management, and treatment. It will also use the existing information to collect information on the age, sex, race and ethnicity, and geographic location of those who have the disease. Each hospital in the country will be required to send a monthly account of this information that will be stored in the web based registry and electronically sent to the Egyptian Department of health for analysis. As a result, this public health surveillance system is passive, since institutions will be providing information on a regular basis. To keep all data confidential, identification numbers will be used when sending collected information. Following data collection, a group of biostatisticians and epidemiologists will analyze the data. The information will be analyzed using biostatistics, geographic location, and time. The incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and mortality rates will be calculated to give a better scope of the diabetes
Retrieved from http://www.ebrary.com The purpose for this source is teach diabetics how to prevent acute and long term complications and to improve quality of life and avoid premature diabetes associated with death. In this source the topic of how to live with diabetes, the advance of health information on diabetes and Medicine and self-management of diabetes. Successful diabetes management relies on successful patient engagement as well as medical treatment, and regular assessment of education needs is as important as medical care. I found this information in the online library.
Type 1 diabetes is a growing pandemic in our world today, and is being diagnosed at a higher rate with each coming year. Diabetes prevention and education must be a top priority for countries such as the United States, so that this alarming trend of increased diagnosis can be brought to a halt. The United States has one of the best education systems in the world, however does not put a focus on diabetes education for those at risk. Diabetes is a growing pandemic in the United States and the world, and step must be taken to stop this disease from growing at the rates that it currently is. The topic of the papers research is to provide in depth analysis of the spread of diabetes, as well as find ways that the spread of this disease can be slowed, and perhaps stopped, leading to a healthier world.
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).
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.
Introduction: This topic that I am embarking upon is very broad, diabetes is a disease which affects people globally, but I will keep focus mainly on a community that means a lot to me. First and foremost I want to educate you about diabetes and then travel with you for a while.
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
Diabetes is a serious health problem gaining increasing global attention from governments public health organisations. This global attention can be attributed to the increasing implications diabetes has on public health (CDC, 2016). Every six seconds a person dies from diabetes (IDF, 2016). Despite the measures to prevent and treat this disease, its prevalence is still on the increase, especially in middle- and low-income countries; more so, health professionals envisage it will rise drastically in the coming years (WHO, 2016). The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that worldwide, approximately 415 million adults have diabetes and 642 million people will have the disease in 2040 (IDF, 2016). These figures of diabetes –
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
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
