Effect of change of the life style in migrating ethnic groups on metabolic parameters related to diabetesA lesson from the Nubians of Egypt Professor Morsi Arab University of Alexandria - Egypt
Prevalence of DM in patients over 40 yrs % Prevalence (>40yrs)
Conclusions 1. Changes in life style (diet & exercise( of susceptible individuals or groups is liable to increase their predisposition to DM (incidence of transformation of IGT to DM and consequently increased DM prevalence). 2. The change is more profoundly demonstrated among groups that might be originally protected by some genetically inherited characteristics. 3. Most of the parameters of the metabolic syndrome seem to be closely bound together and are prone to change under the influence of the adverse changes of life style.

Socio-economic impact on diabetes education -1 1.Lower economy; • less available resources for education 2. Lack of rational plan for: • patient education • physician education • other health personnel (nurses,dieticians,foot care etc…) • general public (awareness: food intake, obesity, exercise, early detection etc…)
