Diabetes Related Conditions and Complications

Diabetes has reached epidemic levels throughout the world. Approximately 34.2 million Americans are currently diagnosed with diabetes, with type 2 diabetes accounting for 95% of those cases. Worldwide, there are approximately 463 million adults living with diabetes. The number of worldwide diabetes is expected to rise to over 700 million by the year 2045. Diabetes reportedly causes 70 billion dollars in health expenditures (as of 2019). Chronic, untreated fluctuations in blood glucose levels can affect overall health and wellbeing, including damage to the eyes, heart, blood vessels, circulation and nerve pathways. [1], [2]. The goal of this program is to educate and healthcare providers on the early identification and treatment recommendations for diabetes related conditions. Such education will assist in lowering the risk factors of these potentially life altering, long term complications.
