Abstract

It is estimated that 360 million people were affected by diabetes mellitus (DM) in 2011 with the great majority (namely 95%) being affected by type 2 DM (T2DM). Most importantly, approximately half of these individuals are not aware of this diagnosis. In addition, another 300 million individuals are at future risk of developing T2DM, including people with increased fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), gestational DM, and euglycaemic insulin resistance (IR).
