DIABETIC AWARNESS PROGRAM

WHAT IS DIABETES?

 Diabetes describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high
blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is not proper, or
because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Diabetes
affects people of all ages. Most forms of diabetes are chronic (lifelong), and all
forms are manageable with medications and/or lifestyle changes. Glucose
(sugar) mainly comes from carbohydrates in your food and drinks. It’s your
body’s go-to source of energy. Your blood carries glucose to all your body’s cells
to use for energy.

When glucose is in your bloodstream, it needs help — a “key” — to reach its final
destination. This key is insulin (a hormone). If your pancreas isn’t making
enough insulin or your body isn’t using it properly, glucose builds up in your
bloodstream, causing high blood sugar.

HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS THE POPULATIONS?

About 537 million adults across the world have diabetes. Experts predict this
number will rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045.
