Abstract
WHO Global Diabetes Compact has taken the role of addressing the burden of diabetes across the world for a long time. Its vision for 2030 includes attaining good glycemic control, blood pressure (BP) control, and a higher ratio of statin intake. A close relationship exists between diabetes and primary care medicine. By the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC), research data included 141 million cases from 200 countries and districts over 33 years. The estimated number of adults with diabetes was 828 million in 2022, showing an increase of 630 million from 1990. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study showed an increased number of diabetic patients by 8.3% between 2000 and 2023.
