Detection, Management And Impact Of Diabetes In Healthy Life Style
Diabetes is becoming an epidemic of global concern. In 2011, the World
Health Organization reported that 346 million people were affected by the disease worldwide and projected that mortality would double by 2030.
Diabetes mellitus affects people of all races, age scand backgrounds. In Australia, self-reported data from 2007–08 show that 4% of the population had been diagnosed diabetes, almost twice the proportion reported in 1989–90. In 2005,
diabetes was directly responsible for 3% of all deaths and contributed to a further 6% of mortalities. Certain population groups, such as Australian residents born overseas and native Australians living in areas of lower socioeconomic status, are at higher risk of developing diabetes.
This may cause individuals to feel disconnected for migrants who may already feel alienated from mainstream society, the impact may be overwhelming. As yet, nothing is known about the impact the disease has specifically on the
quality of life of Lebanese people with
diabetes living in the Sydney metropolitan area. Fatigue, the need to go to bed early, fear of losing their job and loss of interest in making friends may contribute to lost opportunities for social interaction or compromise their quality and frequency. However, given the prevalence of
diabetes among Lebanese there and elsewhere, the propensity for life-threatening complications with
diabetes and the impact of the disease on quality of life, research into this community is vital.
