Abstract:
The increasing of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Asia is predicted to be higher and faster than other continent. Indonesia is also experiencing the trend of growing of T2DM. The prevalence of T2DM in Indonesia was 1.5 in 1981 and currently is 14.7% in 2001. Similar with other countries in South-East Asia, most of the T2DM patients are in younger age than observed in developed countries. T2DM in South-East Asia region, including Indonesia is also commonly occurred at lesser body weight people than in developed countries. North Sulawesi is one of the most progressive development provinces in Indonesia. Globalization, urbanization and other social determinants have been influencing people lifestyle, especially on diet and physical exercise. Change in diet and physical exercise in interaction with inadequate respons of health system and healthcare provider can be considered as the main contributing factors of influencing the increasing of T2DM in North Sulawesi, and Indonesia as well. Experience from other countries and from many studies has provided best practice methods in diabetes prevention and control. While comparing T2DM prevention and control in North Sulawesi with these best practices methods, it is concluded that T2DM prevention and control in Indonesia, in particular North Sulawesi is still sub-optimal. It is recommended to start the T2DM prevention and control program with upstream, midstream and lowstream approaches.
