NCD Hard Talks Webinar: Comprehensive Diabetes Management: Presentation slides

Overview

Globally, diabetes is among the top 10 causes of death and disability. Over time diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and lower limb amputation. The severity of these complications requires health service inputs from a wide range of health care professionals, including providers of rehabilitation and assistive technology. Despite it is well recognized that comprehensive management of diabetes requires action to prevent, diagnose and manage complications through rehabilitation and the provision of assistive technology, person-centered comprehensive management for people with diabetes is far from being a reality in many parts of the world.
