Diabetes rising in Asia-Europe region: MEA official

New Delhi, Feb 4 (UNI) Increasing incidence of diabetes worldwide particularly in the Asia-Europe region was a matter of great concern and all possible steps should be taken to reduce the incidence, an official closely monitoring ASEAN affairs in the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Joint Secretary, MEA Pooja Kapur was addressing the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) workshop on Non-Invasive Technologies for Diagnostics and Treatment of Diabetes as a Lifestyle Disease, organised jointly by Ministry of External Affairs, CII and ASEM, coinciding with CII-International Engineering and Technologies Fair (IETF) here today.
“The costs associated with diabetes care are high and increasing world-wide. This adversely impacts financial spending and puts undue strain on the economies of countries in the developing world. Lower economic groups which have to spend between 25 percent to 35 percent of their income on diabetes care are often the worst affected”, Ms Kapur said.
