Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PURE MEDICAL RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
As Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has become a current epidemic, it is important to emphasize the use of one universal guideline or criteria for the diagnosis of Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus. The study assesses the potential variability of incidence values through different, available guidelines used by organizations and countries worldwide. These guidelines include those used by WHO, NICE, UK, India, Japan, United States of America and Canada. The results presented a varied “diabetic” population percentage within the data set, ranging from 12.7% up to 38.3%, depending on the guideline used. This study is meant to highlight potential discrepancies regarding Diabetes M ellitus prevalence internationally. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of one standard guideline for practice and community awareness to establish a more truer value regarding the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus worldwide to date.
