halt the rise,beat diabetes

2. WHO will celebrate its birthday on 7 April
2016 - World Health Day
The Day provides an opportunity for individuals
in every community to get involved in activities
that can lead to better health.
 Each year a theme is selected that highlights a
priority area of public health.
. But this year, not with cake. The traditional
birthday cake will be replaced by healthier options,
like fruit, and a call to action to Tackle
Diabetes.

3. Themes of last 5 yrs:
• 2015:from farm to plate, make food safe
• 2014: Small bite, big threat
• 2013: Blood Pressure – take control
• 2012:Good health add life to years
• 2011:Antimicrobial resistance

Why this theme was chosen
Because diabetes is on the rise – dramatically.
The number of adults in the world with diabetes has
nearly quadrupled since 1980 to 422 million adults
 Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be
effective in preventing or delaying the onset of
diabetes(type 2)
 The goals of WHD 2016 are (1) scale up
prevention, (2) strengthen care, and (3) enhance
surveillance.

6. What is diabetes?
It’s a heterogeneous metabolic
disorder with common feature of
chronic hyperglycaemia with
disturbance of carbohydrate
,protein and lipid metabolism .
This could be due to
Absence of insulin
Reduction of insulin
Reduced receptor ability to use
insulin Types?
There’s Type 1, Type 2, Gestational, Impaired Glucose
Tolerance (IGT) and Impaired Fasting Glycaemia (IFG).

7. Type 1 is where the pancreas doesn’t produce any insulin.
People with it need to have insulin every day. Scientists
don’t know what causes Type 1.
Type 2 is where the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin
or the body’s cells don’t react to insulin.(MOST COMMON)
It is usually caused by excess body weight and physical
inactivity, because the body isn’t using insulin effectively.
Gestational diabetes is a condition some pregnant women
suffer. It’s where blood glucose levels are higher than
normal, but not high enough to make them Type 2.
It can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy
and delivery. Women with it, and their children, also have
more chance of developing Type 2.
Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and Impaired Fasting
Glycaemia (IFG) are intermediate conditions in the transition
between normality and Type 2 diabetes.

Diagnosis-Prevention – Control
"People with diabetes can live long and
healthy lives if their disease is detected and
well-managed."
Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General

11. Diagnosis and treatment
Only high group individuals are screened.
Early diagnosis can be accomplished through relatively inexpensive
testing of blood sugar by oral glucose tolerance test.
Also urine test for glucose
Interventions that are both cost-saving and feasible in developing
countries include:
blood glucose control, particularly in type 1 diabetes. People with type 1
diabetes require insulin, people with type 2 diabetes can be treated
with oral medication, but may also require insulin;
blood pressure control; and
foot care.
Other cost saving interventions include:
•screening and treatment for retinopathy (which causes blindness);
•blood lipid control (to regulate cholesterol levels);
•screening for early signs of diabetes-related kidney disease and
treatment.

12. Primary prevention
population strategy
type 1-basis of current knowledge
type 2-elimination of environmental risk factor
•Pressing need for primordial prevention
Normal body weight
By healthy nutritional habits
Physical exercise
 high-risk strategy
• type 2-sedentary life –style ,over nutrition ,obesity
Secondary prevention
Treatment aims : Maintain blood glucose level
Maintain ideal body weight
Tertiary prevention
objective: Organize specialized clinics and units capable of
providing diagnostic and management skills of a high order

16. WHO response
WHO aims to stimulate and support the adoption of effective measures
for the surveillance, prevention and control of diabetes and its
complications, particularly in low and middle-income countries. To this
end, WHO:
provides scientific guidelines for the prevention of major NCDs
including diabetes;
develops norms and standards for diabetes diagnosis and care;
builds awareness on the global epidemic of diabetes, marking World
Diabetes Day (14 November);
The “WHO Global report on diabetes” provides an overview of the
diabetes burden, the interventions available to prevent and manage
diabetes, and recommendations for governments, individuals, the civil
society and the private sector.
The WHO “Global strategy on diet, physical activity and health”
complements WHO's diabetes work by focusing on population-wide
approaches to promote healthy diet and regular physical activity .

17. To help prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications,
people of all ages should:
• achieve and maintain healthy body weight;
• be physically active – at least 30 minutes of regular,
moderate-intensity activity on most days;
• eat a healthy diet of 3-5 servings of fruit and
vegetables a day and reduce sugar and saturated
fats intake; and
• avoid tobacco use – smoking increases the risk of
cardiovascular disease (adults with diabetes
historically have rates of CVD 2 to 3 times higher
than those of adults without diabetes).
