Current Impact of Diabetes for Our World?s Future Health and Economy

Health care systems need to work with their government agencies to plan prediabetes and diabetes strategies and policies at a national level. Moreover, public health ser-vices need to focus on diabetes screening prevention and remission, as well as delay-related complications by encouraging patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, to use health care services. Health care agencies must redesign their consultative services and use a team care approach with referrals to secondary/tertiary care when needed and heavily consider psychosocial determinants of health as part of chronic health care. Environmental health is important for human health and EDCs should be a top priority for environmental agencies. Within the large universal health care system, the impact of one system on another could not have been better realized than during our experience with the COVID-19 pandemic.Of course, diabetes prevention is our first strategy against this disease. Yet, knowing that 1 out of 2 people in the world is an undiagnosed diabetic, remission of diabetes rekindles our hope as we battle increasing prevalence across the world.
