Diabetes where continants meet: Turkey

Abstract

Diabetes is ever growing health issue of the world\'s both developing and developed countries. As a none-contagious disease, its estimated prevalence is at alarming rates that is announced by many of the health authorities. Today, striking numbers belong to Indian population in Arizona, USA and a country placed in the gulf area at Basra, named Eritrea. While people are becoming familiar with the disease despite incredible efforts by the governments, diabetes societies and social associations, increasing rates are extremely getting high especially in Africa owing to presumably awareness programs such as economic support for early recognitions and sliding the kitchen profile to western style feeding in that area.
