DIABETES MELLITUS AN ASIAN EPIDEMIC
DIABETES MELLITUS IS A HETEROGENOUS CHRONIC METABOLIC DISORDER HYPERGLYCEMIA RESULTS FROM A DEFECT IN INSULIN ACTION AND / OR DEFICENCY OF INSULIN SECRETION.
In type I diabetes mellitus, the body simply does not make insulin (5% of diabetics). In type II diabetes, either the body does not make enough insulin or the cells begin to resist it (95% of diabetics).
DM : Leading cause of death and morbidity Morbidity implies the effects due to the disease, which reduce or mar the quality of life of the affected person. It causes blindness, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and amputation. This ailment is affecting younger people also. In the past decade, the incidence among people in the 30's has jumped by 70%. It is up by 10% among under the 30's. This implies that these younger people will be struggling with amputations, blindness and heart disease at the prime of their life.
Diagnosis of Diabetes is for life. • Entails certain lifestyle and social restraints. • Mounting therapeutic obligations • Problems of employment and Insurance. • Extreme care to be exercised in pronouncing such a diagnosis • Delay in diagnosis raises the risk of tissue damage and longterm complications
PREVALENCE India had 19.4 million diabetics in 1995. India will have 57.2 million patients in 2025. India tops the list of diabetes in 1995 and 2025 also. The world wide prevalence of diabetes will be 300 million in 2025 of which 72 million will be in developed countries and 228 million in developing countries, i.e. 75% of diabetics will be in developing countries.
Ten top countries – Number of adults with DM in Millions WHO Tech report 1985
The rising prevalence of Diabetes world wide 4 million deaths per year related to DM. (9% of the global total.)
Factors for Rising of Diabetic Epidemic Genetic Predisposition Environmental factors Sedentary life style Change in food habits Stress of Urban living Increase in population Increasing aging population (Longevity) High Ethnic susceptibility
Effects of Urbanisation • Consumption of excess calories • Reduction in complex carbohydrates with • Increased consumption single sugars and fat. • Availability of energy saving methods of transport and labour hence severely • Reduced physical activity. • Increased levels of stress.
Factors Responsible: Unchangeable Modifiable Preventable Male Gender Dyslipidaemia Obesity F.H. of Diabetes mellitus Hypertension Smoking Ageing Diabetes Alcohol Viral infections Stress Sedentary life style Food habits

Indications for testing for diabetes in asymptomatic,undiagnosed individuals. Testing for diabetes should be considered in all individuals at age 45yrs,and above and, if normal, it should be repeated at 2 year intervals. Testing should be considered at a younger age or be carried out more frequently in individuals who:
Are obese ( BMI over 27). • Those with a family history of DM (especially first degree). • Those with diabetes developing during pregnancy (GDM). • Mother of a big baby at birth (above 3.5 kg) – mother prone for diabetes. • Low birth weight child (IUGR) – child can develop diabetes in future. • Have a HDL cholesterol 35mg/dl and /or a triglyceride level 200mg/dl. • On previous testing , had IFG or IGT. • Are members of high risk ethnic population (South Asians) • Poly cystic Ovarian Disease in Females
PREVALENCE OF COMPLICATIONS • AT DIAGNOSIS • 50% OF PATIENTS HAD COMPLICATIONS AT DIAGNOSIS • ü 37% HAD RETINOPATHY • ü 18 % HAD MICROALBUMINURIA • ü 10% HAD PERIPHERAL • NEUROPATHY. • UKPDS
VASCULAR DISEASES IN TYPE 2 DM, ICMR MULTICENTRIC STUDY Vessel Disease Male Female Large vessel disease Coronary artery disease 8.1% 4.7% Cerebrovascular disease 1.7% 1.8% Pheripheral vascular disease 0.6% 0.2% Small vessel disease Retinopathy 16.3% 14.3% Nephropathy 15.4% 13.9%
Chronic complications of Diabetes. • Mortality is increased by 200% • Heart disease and stroke rate is 200% to 400%. • Blindness 10 times more common in diabetes. • Gangrene and amputation of lower limbs about 20 times more common than in non-diabetics. • Second leading cause of fatal renal disease. • Other chronic complication (neuropathy, infections and sexual dysfunctions) • As a result of diabetes, hospitalisation expense increase by 2 to 3 folds • (WHO expert committee on Diabetes mellitus.)
COST OF DIABETIC CARE Estimated annual cost of diabetes care would be Rs.9,000 crores and the average expenditure per patient per year would be a minimum of Rs 5,000/-. For an average Indian family with an adult with Diabetes, as much as 25% of the family income may be devoted to diabetes care. WHO

DIABETES AND DEPRESSION Depression occurs at least 100% more frequently in patients with DM than in general population. Patients with depressive disorder have more than twice the risk of developing DM Type 2 compared to patients without Depression.
New Indian Express on 18/02/2000 MAN USES SPEEDING TRAIN TO AMPUTATE HIS GANGRENOUS FOOT This is the tragic story of the 45-year-old man with diabetes who developed gangrene of his foot last September. The foot would not heal and the resulting pain and lack of mobility meant that he had to give up his work as a plumber. The alternative employment he took up - selling fruits at the side of the road – was not a success because of the foot's offensive smell. No one would buy hisfruits.
Attendance of the doctors for dressing and other treatment were costing him Rs 75/- each time and he was told that the amputation he needed would cost Rs 15,000. As a consequence of this advice, he decided to use the local train to amputate his foot. He survived, but how long remains to be seen. This is an effort to make sense of cost effectiveness information on diabetes programmes and its importance for physicians and policy planners.

THE ECONOMIC BURDEN OF DIABETES India is the ‘ Diabetes Capital of the world’ A dubious distinction Can we afford it?
Walk more , Eat less • Sir GeorgeAlberti, • President IDF • Why are so many people suffering from DM in India ? • Ethnic predisposition • Indians are centrally fat. (fat around the waist) • Due to lack of exercise • Economic growth – prosperity - change in • dietary habits and adopting of Western style fast food

Results: 91 % of cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented by adhering to 5 lifestyle criteria. Weight loss Regular exercise Diet modification Abstinence from smoking Consumption of limited amounts of alcohol N Engl Med 2001: 345: 790-797.
HYPERGLYCAEMIA - PREVENTION: Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Selection: 3234 individuals. Mean age 51 years. More obese, (mean BMI 34 kg/ m2) All were IGT. Duration: 2.8 years.. Division: 3 groups.

What are the new developments worldwide? Nothing new. 2000 years ago, Hippocrates said – no exercise obesity various illnesses. Relevant even today Primary Diabetes Mellitus is a lifestyle related disease. We cannot rely on drugs to correct lifestyle.
