Diabetes in Iran
There are some global facts about diabetes. Every 10 seconds one person dies because of diabetes and its related complication. It is responsible for one foot amputation every 30 seconds. In 2006, diabetes has been recognized as “Silent Killer” by Unite Nations. 
Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes is ranked among the leading causes of blindness, renal failure and lower limb amputation. Many of these complications could be prevented by receiving good treatment, self-management education, diet
And physical activities.
In Iran, about 3 to 4 million people suffer from diabetes of which more than half could not control their disease effectively. One of the serious shortages is the lack of awareness and education about this disease. This risk is higher for children because they have to live with diabetes from the early ages.
