Novel Integrated Approaches for the Detection and Management of Type-2 Diabetes

In the last three decades there is a rapid increase in cardiometabolic diseases such as hypertension, excess weight, obesity, type-2 diabetes and vascular diseases to epidemic proportions worldwide [1-13]. In the same period the incidence of type-2 diabetes has increased over 17-fold in China [14]. By and large, the reason for this global increase seems to be the rapid urbanization, ease in commuting, sedentary habits, unhealthy lifestyles and Western diet pattern. In view of this observation, there has been some attempts to initiate, global prevention strategies. With this goal in mind, United Nations General Assembly in October of 2018, during the Plenary Meetings of the Seventy-Third Session, adopted two resolutions, -General Assembly Reaffirms Political Declarations on Urgent Global Responses to Tuberculosis, Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). The assembly adapted the resolution, “political declaration of the third high-level meeting of the General Assembly on the prevention of non-communicable diseases.” This declaration is nothing but the re-adaptation of the earlier declarations, which all member countries had signed. The representative of Italy, explaining her delegation’s position said, that she had the honor to co-facilitate negotiation and that the declaration is concise, balanced, and builds on current opportunities. The resolution highlights the importance of healthy lifestyle choice for the prevention of non-communicable diseases.
