The Burden of Type 2 Diabetes: How to Act for Early Diagnosis and Control ​ Dr. Chen Ku - Endocrinologist - Costa Rica​

What is the situation in Latin America concerning Type 2 Diabetes?

In this talk, Dr. C.H Chen Ku shows that in Latin America there is a high percentage of patients with T2DM who are diagnosed late; the most worrying thing being the elevated number of patients who remain without adequate glycemic control. As the data shows, there is a huge need for an early diagnosis of T2DM, as the more years pass before the diagnosis is made, the more the cardiovascular risk of these patients increases.
