Fragmento

Evidence in the international literature shows constant and progressive growth of diabetes, especially of its most frequent clinical form: type 2 diabetes (T2D). This so-called diabetes “epidemic” also affects the countries of Latin America, where we must also add delayed diagnosis and poor treatment outcomes reported in relation to the quality of care provided to people with this disease. Diabetologists and researchers attribute this situation to characteristic changes induced by modern society such as sedentary lifestyle, intake of high-calorie foods, decreased hours of sleep, continuous stress, poverty, and low educational level. The lack of trained and economical human resources contributes to this, as well as the lack of habitual preventive consultations in our society.
