  11. Statues of Diabetes in Iran &.. • Diabetes increasing all around the world especially in developing countries such as China, India, Pakistan and Iran. (reported by IDF, WHO) • 50% of EM people with diabetes will die of cardiovascular diseases. This means that in our region, there are pandemic trends in prevalence of diabetes and associated complications. • Globally, people with diabetes are 25 times more likely to have a leg amputated than those without the condition. • Somewhere in the world, a leg is lost due to diabetes every 30 seconds. • US Dept of Health and Human Services, National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics Reports

  12. Population: 75 (2011) Total area: 1.648 million sq km • Today about 3.5 million (out of about 75million) people are suffering from diabetes and its complications in Iran. • The prevalence of Diabetes increasing in Iran like other developing countries.

  13. Among EMR, diabetes is ranked among the leading causes of blindness, renal failure and lower limb amputation • Currently, 52% of the Region’s disease burden is due to NCD and it is expected that this burden will rise to 60% by 2020. • The modifiable risk factors smoking, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, expressed as diabetes, obesity and high lipids, are the root causes of the global NCD epidemic .

  14. The Prevalence of DM and IGT in Different Areas of Iran(WHO Criteria)

  15. The prevalence of type 1DM in Iran is about 0.6 - 0.8% Azizi F. Diabetes Mellitus in the Islamic Republic of Iran, IDF Bulletin 1996

  16. Diabetic Nephropathy • In diabetic patients, risk of Kidneyinvolvementis17 timesmore than normal population • After 20 - 30 years of DM onset: • risk of nephropathy in type 1 = 30 – 40 % • risk of nephropathy in type 2 = 15 – 50 % • In Iran 20 – 25 % of ESRD is due to DM* * Iranian Dialysis Center data

  17. Diabetic Retinopathy in Iran • Overall prevalence of diabetic retinopathy is 32.4 %of which: • 17.3 %NPDR • 15.1 % PDR Larijani et al, Prevalence of diabetic retinopathy, MD dissertation No.17628 of TUMS, 1999

  18. Burden of Diabetes Mellitus in Iran • Disproportionately expensive • DALY = 306,440 years = 4.72 years per 1000 people • YLL = 224,000 years among 1,600,000 diabetics in Iran • A real socioeconomic burden (US $98bil) Larigani et al., Iranian J of Diabetes and Lipid disorders,2005; 5:35-48

  19. Diabetic foot • 15%of diabeticpatients develop foot ulcer • 15-20%of these will require amputation • Up to 50% of DFs are preventable • In one study in Iran: • Mean duration hospital admission for DF was 4 weeks • Amputation rate was 40% in 1995 and decreasedto14%in 2001 Larijani et al, Iranian Journal of Diabetes and Lipid disorders, 2002 Larijani et al, MJIRC 2006;8(3):21-24

  20. Diabetes care in EM countries is not of uniform standard for a number of reasons. • Trained diabetes healthcare personnel are limited in numbers; • Diabetes education and counseling are not readily available to patients; • Health care models in the industrialized countries are not applicable due to problems of cost, organization and accessibility. • PHC structured to deal only with acute and episodic illnesses not designed to provide the optimal array of services to manage a complex, multi-system chronic illness like diabetes

  21. Recent activities carried out to improve diabetes status • Establishing Diabetes clinics • Establishing Diabetic Foot clinics in most populated provinces • Educational activities at different levels

  22. EMRI affiliated Clinics, Facilities & Laboratories

  39. EMRI Innovations • Producing biosensors for monitoring of low level different ingredients, • Cell transplantation • ANGIPARSA New Phytotherapeutic Drug for Wound Healing

  40. Invention of a Device for Detection of Sulfonylurea in the Urine • Sulfonylurea derivatives are a class of antidiabetic drugs used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. • The first generation of these drugs caused significant and potentially fatal hypoglycemia • Although new generation of sulfonylurea drugs such as Glipizide, Glimepiride, and Glibenclamide (Glyburide) are currently used as antidiabetic agents, they may also cause severe hypoglycemia.

  41. Necessity for Invention of the Device • Patients with hypoglycemia can be brought to the emergency ward in an unconscious state • Currently, there exists no means of detecting sulfonylurea in the urine • The condition can remain undiagnosed • Therefore, the Endocrinology and Metabolism Research University planned a project for invention of a device for detection of Sulfonylurea in the urine
