¶ … thirds of the global population lives within the Asia Pacific area where pervasiveness of diabetes has reached rampant proportion. With India and China being the most densely inhabited countries in the world, it is thought that over one hundred and fifty million diabetes cases reside in the area with more than a staggering 95% being of T2DM or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Additionally, other Pacific islands within the area have high rates of T2DM. These islands include Tonga, Nauru, French Polynesia, and Fiji.
The latter possesses the highest occurrence of T2DM per populace in the globe. Over the past twenty, New Zealand and Australia, the incidence of T2DM has actually doubled, largely midst the Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal and Maori peoples correspondingly. With the snowballing frequency of diabetes within the Asia Pacific area coupled with the inadequate number of resources, use of a consistent and efficient mode of diagnosis for type 2 diabetes mellitus is necessary. Yet to date, only nations like New Zealand have adopted the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendation of using test that include hemoglobin A1C in the initial diagnosis of the illness. The objective of the article is to discuss clinical practicality of hemoglobin A1C as well as highlight its diagnostic part in the Asia Pacific area where T2DM is progressively encountered.

Diabetes Handout Diabetes was chosen as a topic because of the high percentage of the population that it affects coupled with the fact that it is a relatively preventable disease for most people. It is estimated that nearly five and a half million people in New York City, about a third of the population, have prediabetes, diabetes, and/or diabetes-associated cardiovascular diseases and similar frequencies have been noted throughout the Western world.
Screening for Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is caused by the development of glucose intolerance during pregnancy (National Institutes of Health 2013). In the United States the National Institutes of Health (2013), U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2008), and the American Diabetes Association (2013) are just a few agencies and organizations who have weighed in on this topic. Elsewhere, the Cochrane Systematic Reviews (Tieu et al. 2010) and the World

A connection between lifestyle factors in diabetes has been well established in research. In particular, exercise is reliably linked with improvements in diabetes prognoses. However, there has been a noticeable gap in research related to what types of exercise are linked to what types of
