Special diabetes care package

Risk of Cardiovascular and renal problems

Patients of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other South Asian origin with type-2 diabetes (Also known as adult’s beginning diabetes) are not less than a management challenge for the doctors in UK. If compared to white Europeans, these patients of South Asian origin have 4 to 6 time higher risks to have type2 diabetes. Further, beginning of the disease in South Asians use to occur ten year earlier than in the white people. Similarly, the risk of cardiovascular and renal problems is higher in the people of South Asian origin and the death rate is around 50 percent higher. Different complications in management are considered because of cultural, social deprivation and cultural issues.
