Barriers To Effective Diabetes Treatment

Evenings in restaurants, skepticism about exercise and leading an unhealthy lifestyle do not allow patients with type 2 diabetes to successfully control their metabolism. An article by researchers from Hong Kong and Northern Ireland highlighted some psychological, socio-economic, physical and cultural factors, as well as environmental factors, that act as barriers to diabetes control.

It is a chronic disease and lifestyle changes are the basis for achieving important metabolic status. Today it has social significance, the incidence is extremely high worldwide. The WHO aims to identify by 2025 the barriers to achieving acceptable metabolic status.

Among the highlights are frequent visits to restaurants that do not have food suitable for diabetics. Another point is the difficulty in starting an active motor regime, especially in people who have led a stagnant lifestyle - one of the risk factors for the disease. Of great importance is the mental attitude and the radical change in behavior in diabetics. Of course, it also comes down to finances, both for choosing the right food and for conducting regular tests to assess glucose maintenance.

Not infrequently, patients are not well aware of the nature of the disease itself and the complications it can lead to.

The quality of healthcare in a country is no less important. It determines the access, cost and effectiveness of the necessary controls.
