On the issue of diabetes, governments and society can no longer wait to make decisions;And one of them is to expand education in this regard, because only then can this evil be overcome, considered the elected president of the International Diabetes Federation, Shaukat M. Sadikot.

In an interview during the first summit, changing cities in diabetes (Cities Changing Diabetes), he said that the panorama is not very encouraging because now more people die as a result of this chronic degenerative condition.

"The situation is very bad, four years ago a person died of complications every seven seconds, seven days ago when we revealed our new forecasts, a person died of diabetes complications every six seconds. For people with diabetes the situation is getting worseDo everything possible to help them, "he said.

The Hindu doctor will assume the presence of the Federation at the end of this month in Vancouver, Canada and his work plan will be based on promoting a movement that will surely do not make diabetes disappear, but it will let patients know the patients that there are other peopleTrying a change to improve your conditions.

This change, he mentioned, must begin with the education of the general doctors who are the ones who first see the patient, because very few of the people with diabetes reach the specialist and when they do it is because there are already complications.

He stressed that more than 80 percent of people suffering from this disease, which affects blood sugar levels, are treated by their family doctors or header, and many times these health specialist are not prepared to guide them andeven to diagnose this evil.

Therefore, during its management at the head of the International Diabetes Federation, it intends that one of the main activities is precisely that education to the doctor, the patient and family members.

"We are carrying out a war against diabetes; and it is not a war where you can send planes from Brussels to bombFirst level, "Sadikot said.

Under the understanding that they are first -level doctors who are going to fight diabetes, you have to empower them teaching them how things should do, how they should make an early diagnosis, start treatment and what to do with therapies to avoid complications, onlyThis will be successful.

Half of people with diabetes do not know that they have it, and when they arrive with complications with a specialist, "if asked why he did nothing, he replies that he did not know, we have to diagnose and give good attention."

Patient care includes guidance for a change of habits in their lifestyle, and that the authorities seek healthy environments where they can walk and have access to better food low in fats and sugars.

Diabetes is the worst disease that exists ,,, all my life you have to be controlling it, you will be healthy, but you do not live, do not enjoy things, you do things because you have to do it, I don't like to do sports, I prefer to be doing other things, or even do nothing to stay at home, that it is worth being healthy if you are going to die equally for something else, sometimes you want to send everything to the club.Anyway, I haven't had a good day ... I'm sorry ...
