525,000 people in Bulgaria are diagnosed with diabetes. It turns out that too many people do not know they are affected by the disease. It is assumed that the total number of the affected people is about 800,000.
This was announced by Deyan Denev, Director of the Association of Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers in Bulgaria (ARPharM) at a seminar on diabetes problems in Borovets. Half of the diagnosed are not adequately treated, Denev added.
According to data from the World Health Organization one of every ten adults has diabetes. 425 million people worldwide have this disease, of whom 65 million live in Europe. Prof. Tsvetelina Tankova, from the Department of Endocrinology of the Medical University in Sofia, recalled that 15 years ago the UN adopted a resolution on diabetes as a global health threat, although the disease is not infectious. According to the organization, it is expected that after 20-25 years, the number of people suffering from it will increase by 50 million in the world, with the number expected to grow by about 30 million in Europe.
About 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, particularly in low-and middle-income countries.
According to WHO diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in the world.
