DIABETES is no longer a disease of the rich but of the poor as four out of five people (80 per cent) with diabetes in the world live in low and middle income countries, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).
The latest edition of the IDF Diabetes Atlas released on Monday in Frankfurt, Germany, ahead of a two-day seminar tagged “Sanofi’s Engagement in Diabetes”, noted that Africa has the highest mortality rate due to diabetes with 81.2 per cent of diabetics undiagnosed and do not know they have the disease.
The seminar is organised by Sanofi Biopharmaceuticals to mark its 90-year treatment of diabetes and as part of pre-activities to celebrate 2014 World Diabetes Day on November 14.
The event, holding at Sanofi Diabetes headquarters of Hoechst in Frankfurt, is bringing together all stakeholders from research and development, industrial affairs and development, and manufacturing of medical devices.
