I would like to begin by talking about the
Epidemiologic Transition.
This picture shows the epidemiologic transition of disease patterns
where a long-term shift has occured in mortality and disease
patterns where pandemics of infection are replaced by
non-communicable diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. In developing
countries, deaths due to infectious disease continue to decline and
as Omran coins the…man-made diseases including diabetes continue to
increase
