Patient Perceptions Of A Diabetes

Diabetes brunt the lives of millions of individuals in the United States and worldwide, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality and decreased quality of life. The statistic of those registered by this illness continues to climb, with a current prevalence exceeding 9% of adults over the age of 20 or approximately 20 million individuals. Regrettably, diabetes aggravation in provincial is insignificant, with only 57% of patients having the recommended hemoglobin A1C of less than 7% in order to prevent end-organ complications. Diabetes is also associated with a tremendous economic burden, with costs that exceed 170 billion dollars for both direct medical care and indirect costs secondary to disability, work loss, and premature mortality.
