International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Diabetes Atlas
The second edition of the Diabetes Atlas provides a comprehensive view of diabetes by covering a wide range of topics which includes epidemiology, economics, education, prevention, insulin and diabetes associations to reflect the growing need to tackle the diabetes pandemic on all fronts. These topics emphasize the importance of looking not just at the epidemiology of diabetes but also at its risk factors, the management of the disease to prevent or delay complications and primary prevention of diabetes in high risk groups. The Diabetes Atlas also shows the immense costs of diabetes, in financial and human terms, to both the individual and society as a whole. The second edition of the Diabetes Atlas extends coverage to 212 countries and territories around the world. It provides current estimates of the prevalence of diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) as well as forecasts the estimates for 2025, forewarning of the enormous burden to come. The future predictions of cost are as alarming as the future predictions of prevalence.
