- Relationship to Diabetes
- Type 1
NO gainsaying the fact that Diabetes is a colossal health issue the world over. But Kuwait, small as it is, has about 250,000 — about a quarter of the population afflicted by the disease and is currently ranked 9th worldwide in terms of affliction rate. The Dasman Diabetes Institute (DDI) was established with a mission to prevent, control and mitigate the impact of diabetes and related conditions in the society through effective programs of research, training, education and healthy lifestyle promotion and thereby improve quality of life in the population. There’s no doubt the DDI under the directorship of Professor Kazem Behbehani, a Kuwaiti academic and scientist and a University of Liverpool- trained Tropical Medicine specialist at the PhD level whose educational exploits included stints across the US, Europe and the World Health Organization (WHO), has got its shoulders to the wheel in a fight to get the gigantic health problem under control.
In a chat with the Arab Times, Prof. Behbehani, lays out the core mission of DDI while also outlining the types, causes, effects and control of the national canker called Diabetes Mellitus.
