Özet

Recent estimates indicate that diabetes occurs in 16.5% of the Turkish population, which is in keeping with the increasing global prevalence of diabetes. Following rapid economic growth, increase in life expectancy and changes in lifestyle over the past decade have resulted in the placement of a tremendous cost burden on the Turkish economy by diabetes and associated co-morbidities, representing 20% of overall spending on healthcare.
