Why should we treat Diabetes?
We should treat Diabetes because of the sheer prevalence of this disease. In the USA alone there are around 29 million people who have this disease. And the worst part? Many of them were not aware of the fact that had it. Around 20 % of the population in the gulf countries is diabetic. In India the % of diabetics is around 8 to 10. In the developed countries it is probably a little less. In UK and America it is around 3 or 5 %.

Some of the statistics will say that diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world.
It is one of the leading cause of kidney failure in the world and also one of the leading causes of legs being amputated. Since it is also one of the leading causes of heart attacks in the world we should be treating and diagnosing diabetes.
