Preventing and Managing Type 2 Diabetes The aim of this report is to emphasize the severity of type 2 diabetes and propose ways to curb this disease through various means. These range from attitudinal changes and the introduction of screenings at an early stage.
At a global level, type 2 diabetes is one of the major challenges facing policymakers today. The statistics of rising prevalence and the associated health and economic impact are staggering.
The challenge is recognized by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Economic Forum: all have called for collective commitment to prevent diabetes and improve the quality of life of the people who suffer from it. The challenge is serious, urgent and universal.
