But I strongly object when they start shaking
them to make certain they are still going

4. Facts and Figures
• There are 346 million people worldwide with
diabetes mellitus
• More than 80% of diabetes deaths are in low
and middle-income countries.
• The overall risk of dying among people with
diabetes is at least double the risk of their
peers without diabetes
• WHO projects that diabetes deaths will double
between 2005 and 2030.
WHO Fact sheet N 312 August 2011
5. Complications
• Cardiovascular
– 50% of people with diabetes die of cardiovascular
disease (primarily heart disease and stroke).
– Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy in
the feet increases the chance of foot ulcers and
eventual limb amputation.
• Nephropathy
– 10-20% of people with diabetes die of kidney
failure.
• Neuropathy
– Diabetic neuropathy affects up to 50% of diabetics.
WHO Fact sheet N 312 August 2011
6. Ocular Complications
Diabetes contributes to many eye diseases that may lead to
Visual Impairment or blindness. These include:
• Cataract
– Opacification of crystalline lens
causing VI and blindness. Diabetics
have higher risks of cataract.
– Cataract is the major causes of
blindness globally responsible for
more than half of all blindness (51%).
– However there are no studies that
outline the contribution of diabetes to
the global burden of cataract

7. Ocular Complications
• Glaucoma
– Higher risks of
Open Angle
Glaucoma,
Neovascular
Glaucoma – a rare
form of Glaucoma
– Glaucoma is
responsible for
about 8% of world
blindness.

8. Ocular Complications
• Extra Ocular muscle nerve palsies
• Optic neuropathy
• Transient Refractive errors

9. Ocular Complications
Diabetic Retinopathy
(DR)
• This is the easily
identifiable and
quantifiable effect of
diabetes in the eye.
• It is responsible for about 1% of global VI and
blindness.
• In some regions of the world, like the EMR, it
constitutes over 3% of blindness.
10. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
• It occurs in about 77% of persons having Type 2
Diabetes for 10 years and almost all persons Type 1
disease.
“WHO Fact sheet N 312 August 2011”
• After 15 years of diabetes, approximately 2% of people
become blind and about 10% develop severe VI.

First published December 1, 2011 as 10.1136/ bjophthalmol-2011-300539
• Associated risk factors to DR include long duration of
diabetes, poor control, high blood pressure, high
serum cholesterol, nephropathy etc

diabetic retinopathy among Saudi diabetics. International Ophthalmology 22: 155–161, 1999”
11.
12. Global picture of DR
• A systematic review of 35 studies (1980-2008) provided data
from 22,896 individuals with diabetes.
• The overall prevalence of DR was 34.6%
– For proliferative DR it was 6.96%
– For diabetic macular edema 6.81%
– For Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy (VTDR) it was 10.2%.
• There are approximately:
– 93 million people with DR,
– 17 million with proliferative DR,
– 21 million with diabetic macular edema
– 28 million with VTDR worldwide.
• With increasing incidence of Diabetes globally due to
increasing longevity and changing life style and diets it is
expected that these figures will increase.

27. DR control & Eye health within NCD control
All the stated principles for DR
care and eye health can follow
the basic trio strategies for NCD
control:
• Prevention
• Surveillance
• Care
• Application of these may vary
among countries depending
on resources, but the basic
principles are:
28. Prevention
– Use of measures to prevent occurrence of DM as
contained in the strategies for NCD control
– Control of modifiable risk factors for NCDs: tobacco
use, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol and
unhealthy diet through awareness
Awareness messages
– To increase awareness on measures to reduce risk factors
like: healthy life style and diets, losing weight, physical
activity etc.
– Relating to eye disease in diabetes. These should be part of
the basic package for NCD control at Primary health level
29. Surveillance
• Measures to identify persons at risk of Diabetes, all
Diabetics and complications
– Integration of NCD data in the national health
information system including: exposures,
outcomes and health systems assessments of
NCDs
– Where appropriate consider inclusion of eye
assessment in NCD surveys
– Inclusion of diabetic eye morbidity as part of
monitoring outcomes surveillance data
– Inclusion of components of DR resources in
health system assessment including DR action
plan and programs.
30. Health care
– Adequate Diabetes control
– Early Identification of persons at risk of
eye diseases and provision of care.
– Annual eye examination, through the
routine clinic based diabetic care,
through remote telemedicine, or mobile
screening services. This may reduce
vision loss by 60-70% among diabetics.
– Routine NCD screening and care
services to include basic eye and DR
assessment
31. • Referral
– Adequate referral pathways within existing health
structure for care of DR cases with universal access
– There are evidence based approaches to different stages
of DR and other eye complications like Cataract and
Glaucoma
– This should be part of the articulated all encompassing
diabetic care
• Organization of eye services within an integrated
health service
– Incorporation within primary health care package eye
screening for at risks like diabetics, elderly.
– Incorporation of eye care within an integrated
comprehensive NCD services in the health structure
Diabetes affects the eye in different ways causing many eye diseases many of which causes visual impairment or blindness. This includes:
In America, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta had made the following projections:The number of Americans 40 years or older with DR and VTDR will triple in 2050, from 5.5 million in 2005 to 16.0 million for DR and from 1.2 million in 2005 to 3.4 million for VTDR.Saaddine JB, Honeycutt AA, Narayan KM, Zhang X, Klein R, Boyle JP. Projection of diabetic retinopathy and other major eye diseases among people with diabetes mellitus: United States, 2005-2050. Arch Ophthalmol. 2008 Dec;126(12):1740-7.Applying this American projection to the World figures suggests that by the year 2050- The number of people with DR will be about 280 million from current estimate of about 93 millionWhile number with Vision threatening DR will rise to 196 million from current estimate of about 28 million.

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the market value of all officially recognized final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of a country's standard of living;[2][3] GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income
Years of potential life lost (YPLL) or potential years of life lost (PYLL), is an estimate of the average years a person would have lived if he or she had not died prematurely.[1] It is, therefore, a measure of premature mortality. As a method, it is an alternative to death rates that gives more weight to deaths that occur among younger people. Another alternative is to consider the effects of both disability and premature death using disability adjusted life years.
