Diabetes, a disease that fast spreads

Many times people often seen as dangerous only to diseases that are caused by a virus or bacteria. However, there are other conditions that are very negative health and can cause irreversible damage or death, which are not contagious but are generated in the body by different factors.

In this group we find diabetes, a disease considered epidemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) and a threat to global health at the level of other serious diseases such as HIV / AIDS.

According to official data from WHO, in 2000 there were 120 million diabetics worldwide, a figure that is steadily growing, and it is estimated that in 2030 there are  about 366 million people with diabetes in the world.

On the other hand, it is estimated that 8 out of 10 patients with diabetes die from cardiac or cerebral complications and in the next 10 years deaths from this disease could increase by 50%. Meanwhile, the International Diabetes Federation has reported that every 10 seconds a person dies in the world because of diabetes.

Actually these numbers are alarming and are a sign that health-related organizations must do something urgent to stop the spread of this disease. Per, what do to reduce deaths from diabetes?

The first thing to consider is that it is extremely important to have a study of blood sugar at least once a year. Second, know what are the risk factors. People with obesity, lipid abnormalities and hypertension are more prone to this type of metabolic disorder.
In this regard, we note that regular physical activity helps improve management of stocks of sugar in the body.
