Worldwide approximately 135 million people were afflicted in 1995 Number is expected to rise to 300 million in the year 2025 In 2000, the Prevalence rate for DM was 5.1% and IGT 8.1% Women had a higher prevalence than men The frequency of DM & IGT in urban and rural areas are about the same Prevalence increases w/ age, with a rise observed in the 50 yr. old age group
DM is a serious disease Leading cause of new cases of blindness 2x higher risk for heart attack & stroke 75% of deaths are due to atherosclerosis 5x more prone to gangrene 50% of non-traumatic amputation occur in people with diabetes 17x more prone to renal disease 25% of new cases of ESRD are among diabetic patients Leading Causes of Mortality Number and Rate / 100,000 Population Philippines, 1997
