abstract
  • The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) is an association of more than 200 diabetes associations spread in around 158 countries. For more than last 50 years, the IDF has remained in the forefront of diabetes related activities. IDF functions in close collaboration with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The IFD summarizes its purpose in these simple but significant words: "To promote diabetic care, prevention, and a cure world wide." A press release issued by the IDF in December, 2006 indicated that "the disease now affects a staggering 246 million people worldwide, with 46% of all those affected in the 40-59 age group. Previous figures underestimated the scope of the problem, while even the most pessimistic predictions fell short of the current figure. The new data predict that the total number of people living with diabetes will skyrocket to 380 million within twenty years if nothing is done."
