  1. Diabetes Relief By: Isabelle Hwang, Ana Bay, Grant Suyama, Victor Bostick, Kristine Tan

  2. What IS Diabetes? • A disease where insulin production is inadequate • TYPE 1 (“Childhood Diabetes”)- No production of Insulin • TYPE 2 (“Adult-Onset Diabetes”)- The body doesn’t produce enough insulin for proper functions • Currently no cure • There are ways to lower blood glucose and prevent complications of the disease • Overweight/ obese people have a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. • Can cause heart disease, kidney disease, blindness • Insulin= hormone that makes body’s cells absorb glucose (sugar) from the blood

  3. How, where, why, and to what extent has diabetes been a problem for human societies and individual people in the Current era? • Over 300 million people live with Diabetes worldwide (2010) • 344 million at risk for Type 2-most common type • The IDF predicts that 438 million will be diagnosed with diabetes if nothing is done • More than 80% deaths from diabetic causes are in low and middle income countries • Predicted to cost global economy ~$376 billion /11.6% of total health care expenditure. • Very common

  4. Prevalence % of Diabetes in the world

  5. Successes in effort to combat Diabetes? How efforts improved Human life? • Created Diabetes pills and insulin shots to lower blood sugar • Kidney transplants- if taken from a relative, 97% success rate for living 1 year • Low dose of aspirin daily reduces the chances of heart attack

  6. Ways efforts have Failed? • No cure for diabetes. • Pancreas Transplants –only works for Type 1 Diabetes; 2 out of 10 people died from Pancreas Transplants • Type 2 diabetes – typically a “rich world” disease associated with sugary diets in the developed world – now is expanding rapidly in the world’s middle-income nations (China and India, in particular) as people in those nations use their increasing income to eat a more Western-style diet. (Fast food!)

  7. Failure to Combat Diabetes • Prevalence of diabetes worldwide was 2.8% in 2000 and is projected to be 4.4% in 2030. • OR: [171 million to 366 million]

  8. Diabetes World Wide

  9. Why funding diabetes relief efforts make a positive impact on the future? What is most effective to fund? • 1 in 2 people with diabetes don’t know they have it • Awareness efforts • Research efforts hopefully reduce diabetes around the world • Explore scientific possibilities for people who have diabetes • Funding for diabetes relief help reduce and alleviate diabetes worldwide
