365DAYS CAMPAIGN AGAINST NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES



Day 156 of 365

DIABETES IN LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

Non communicable diseases such as diabetes are often associated with industrialized countries, and communicable diseases with developing countries. In the past this division was partly justified, but as a result of globalization and urbanization the prevalence of this disease is rising rapidly also in low and middle income countries.
Today it is known that out of 400 million people with diabetes worldwide, over 300 million live in developing countries (international federation of diabetes)
People started eating more of imported foods and moving less due to globalization and industrialization.
