Incidents of diabetes in childhood and adolescence are becoming increasingly prevalent in Turkey due to changes in lifestyle and dietary habits in recent decades, reflecting a global trend towards increasing numbers of childhood diabetes cases.
Although diabetes is very common among adults in Turkey, the disease is also on the rise among children and adolescents. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2011 statistics for diabetes, 346 million people suffer from the disease worldwide, a number that is increasing every day.
Dr. Erg?n ?etinkaya, associate professor at the private End?mer Pediatric Endocrinology Center in Ankara, told Sunday?s Zaman that 5 million people currently suffer from diabetes in Turkey, 17,000 of whom are children.
