DIABETES AND ITS IMPACT
1
Executive Summary
Diabetes Mellitus is a global threat and about 415 million people across the world are
suffering from this condition. With the increase of its instance, the concern regarding it is
also increasing. This study will discuss the factors that might lead to the development of this
disease and the processes in which it might be addressed, and the instances can be reduced.
This study will also help in building up an idea about the perception common people have
about this disease and the way they can be motivated to be safe and prevent this disease.

DIABETES AND ITS IMPACT

INTRODUCTION
Diabetes mellitus can be defined as the condition which can be characterized by high
blood glucose level sustaining over a more extended period (World Health Organization,
2020). If this condition is left untreated, it gives rise to further complications like kidney
issues, cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, eye damage and skin ulcers. It is mainly caused
due to decreased production of insulin hormone, and it is also caused when the cells of the
body do not respond to the hormone. It is divided into three types:
 Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is caused due to decreased or halt in the production
of insulin which is secreted from the beta cells of the pancreas.
 Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is caused as the result of the cells failing to respond
to the insulin hormone.
 Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes affects pregnant women by increasing the
blood sugar level beyond the normal range.
It has been increasingly affecting and preventing people from living a normal and
healthy life. With its increasing complexity, the instances of diabetes are also increasing
gradually. Statistical research showed that, in the year 2015, about 415 million people had
diabetes and about 318 million people had impaired tolerance of glucose at a high risk of
contracting diabetes in the near future, across the globe. There is also a considerable and
significant increase in the instance of diabetes in Canada. Research showed, in 2015, about
3.4 million people had diabetes, and it was also estimated that by 2025, the number of
diabetes instances would increase by several manifolds and reach 5 million showing a jump
of 44% within ten years (Diabetes Canada, 2020).
Diabetes can be prevented by avoiding any form of intoxication, regular physical
exercise, maintaining a normal weight, maintaining a proper and nutritious diet and
