What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease that sets in when the body's carburetor (pancreas) that regulates the fuel mixture for body function (sugar in the blood) malfunctions. Insulin that is made by specialized cells in the pancreas opens the cell locks (receptors) so that glucose can enter and give cells the energy to do their work. Any extra sugar, starch or protein is converted into fat.  This fat is stored, along with other fat and is under the control of insulin.  This system prevents the pile up of sugar and fat in the blood and also provides 'food' for hungry cells between meals.

In diabetes, a person either does not have enough insulin, the specialized cells are not producing insulin, or his cells are resistant to the action of insulin. The build up of sugar and fat in the blood causes many complications - nerve damage, kidney failure, tissue damage, heart attacks, blindness, stroke and many more. Diabetes affects affects a person for life.  It cannot be cured but can be kept under control.

Facts and Figures on Diabetes in Malaysia and the World

The National Health and Morbidity Study in 1996 showed that in Malaysia, 1.6 to 1.8 million people are afflicted by diabetes. That is 8.3% of the population. More than 90% are Type II or adult onset diabetes. Unfortunately 40-60% do not have the typical symptoms of diabetes on diagnosis. Most Malaysians diabetics did not know they had diabetes and a documented 20-30% of patients were found to have established complications at the time when diabetes was first diagnosed. Diabetes affects 50 million of the 3 billion population in Asia. The International Diabetes Federation projects 150 million sufferers by the year 2010.

The W.H.O. (World Health Organization) in 1994 estimated 46.9 million diabetes in Asia. They forecast the number would rise to 126.2 million by the year 2010.

The numbers may show a difference but the evidence is plain for you to see. More and more friends and relatives are being diagnosed as diabetics. With the recent review in the criteria for diagnosing diabetes by the W.H.O., there has been an increase in the number of diagnosed diabetics.
